144@ The_Young_Turk:Rightly or wrongly, we’re going to see a lot more before the decade is out, with the ‘affirmative action’ way in SA
That’s it, i had England by 5, so just 1 off
Farkit, the weather is really foul there!
Congrats England and all of us who picked them for a win, everyone here on RT is correct , does it mean we are the most knowledgeable site. Yes we are.
To be honest I would have liked a much bigger winning scoreline here not just for my superBru either!
So, pleased we won, but think that the next few games will be quite a challenge, it is anyones tournament at this stage!
Weather like that is for Polar Bears and Fur Seals, not for normal people!

Wales should put England away next week.
@ grootblousmile:

See you boys, look out for me tomorrow in the Cardiff crowd. I will probably be wearing a furry trapper hat and so many layers I will double in size!!
Thanks for the chat though.
