England favourites to win RWC 2011

First topic message reminder :

England are the 6 Nations champions and have the best world cup record out of the Northern Hemisphere teams. Therefore they are most likely to make the final.
There they are most likely to come up against New Zealand which despite being the no.1 ranked team usually choke at world cups.
So England are likely to win the RWC 2011.
If they some how meet Australia in the final then, despite them being ranked 2 in the world, England are most likely to win as they have dominated Australia in their last two games home and away.
So England are likely to win the RWC 2011.
If they some how meet South Africa in the final then, despite them being ranked 3 in the world, England have never lost to South Africa with Manu Tuilagi on the field.
So England are like to win the RWC 2011.

It's all about the pose mate.

Not forgetting the thunder of 1700 cc of torque idling up a hill.


d..d..d..d..d..d..d..d..d..d..d..d.

The pose?

Like the black widows.... ;-)

Excuse me, can we please get back on my WUM topic. I thought it was a pretty good effort (did struggle with the SA part) and now you are going on about bikes.

Beware you may get what you wish for.

be carefull of what you think is a wum. It could all pan out- I wouldnt be overly suprised if we won the whole thing- certainly suprised- but england are surely 3rd or 4th favourites- if not 2nd favourites- given that the 3 teams ranked higher have to knock each other out

Very true - but some facts you have forgotten.

Manu has a 100% winning record against SA.
Manu has a 100% winning record for England.
Even Chuck Norris is scared of Manu.
Manu is a Terminator T7000 sent back in time to prevent NZ winning the World Cup.

One more you've forgotten...

Manu also wears $10,000 mouthguards like his bro...ay sole

Its actually £4800, its not our fault the NZ $ is monopoly money, $10,000 sounds like an awful lot until you compare it to a proper currency.

Remember when it used to be 4:1 ? then 3:1 ? Man the pound sure 'aint worth what it used to be!

Actually the £4,800 is an inaccurate wholesale conversion, it's actually just under 2:1 whole sale.

Imagine if the Euro actually tanks when Greece and Italy default... the pound might sink to parity with the dollar.

What would the Barmy Army sing then? "we almost get one dollar for the pound." ?

The barmy army have other things to sing about now that we're number 1, like Cooks batting, Anderson scaring the poo out of Ponting and, well, Mitchell Johnson in general. When youre on your way to a 5-0 whipping a superior currency is just about the only thing we had....

"What would the Barmy Army sing then? "we almost get one dollar for the pound." ?"

The Stars and Stripes I hope. I'd much rather we joined the US dollar than the Euro. We could even become another US State. What a boost for the economy that would be.
