30 (ish) years of hurt...
« on: November 22, 2003, 02:43:17 pm »

Sorry for the off topic - I promise Ill keep the focus in future, but please indulge me. Its Saturday night in the UK and some 11 hours after Saturday night in Australia. Jims talk of teamwork mixed with my Grolsch intake set me off, and... well I just have to say something:

EN-GER-LAND!!!

Rugby World Champions 2003. A historic day to beat reigning champs Oz in Sydney in the last 30 seconds of an epic match. I guess I wasnt the only one who needed a defibrillator after that. And after so many years of watching defeat snatched from the jaws of victory how sweet it was. And what a fantastic display by both teams.

I know those in the USA have other things to remember on 22/11. Thanks for listening.

What a world where England wins the World Championship and Wales is only a distant thought.

We will rise again! :)

I was quite torn down here...  Cheer for the Aussie's (who just beat us) or cheer for the pom's (who have no right to come down to our side of the world and win  ;D )

I decided to go for the sour grapes approach.  If we can't have it, then neither can the Aussies... go poms.
