If the likes of Martin Johnson and Lawrence Dallaglio are geriatrics, what does that make a 55-year-old wimp like me? (Don't answer that: and please remember, my grandfather was a Scot, and I wear spectacles and do a mean line in sarcasm)

Jody, I fear that your lack of command of demotic European is leading to confusion. The French, notwithstanding divine inspiration, got humped. I gave up 6 minutes from teh end and came to work, but it was 24- 7 when I left.

Patrick at 55 you shouldn't rule yourself out of a place on the bench !
The Kiwi's might have you because there will be a massacre next week in NZ, especially when they lose to France on Thursday !

Well thankyou Marko for your sentiments on a European board but I have all sides covered, kiwi born, scottish, irish and english ancestry and a smattering of french and Aussie is my second home so do I care who wins, no, not a jot.
And Russell Crowe belongs to us, we well know Aussie is short on superstars, why they even tried to claim our Sir Edmund Hillary, how dare they!!
And with a goal kicker like the poms have got you Aussies have no show. So go the Whites!!!

strange how during the summer, when England where down south beating everyone in their path they were the best in the world, and 3 months later everyone says they're past it. They've aged 3 months not 3 years!
It's our year. Aussies don't stand a chance. Anyway, 'bout time the northern hemisphere snatched the crown.

I know its the wrong forum for it, but what the hey !! Whenever the blacks go down it brings a little ray of sunshine to the (Aussie) world. Little Johnny may have a bit more trouble with Phil Waugh in his pocket for 80 minutes. God knows what the rest of the world thinks about this post ! )

What damn concern is it of the rest of the world?
Poms v Convicts. Serious family business to be sorted out here. Far more important than trivia about holiday arrangements.
But to make sure Mr Fodor doesn't remove this for irrelevance, here's a question:
"Where in the Twickenham area am I likely to find a pub serving Vegemite sandwiches at 9am this Saturday?"

Supreme court case NZ
A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama
last week when he challenged a court ruling over who should
have custody of
the boy. The boy has a history of being beaten by his
parents and the judge
awarded custody to his aunt. The boy confirmed that his aunt
beat him more
than his parents and refused to live there. When the judge
suggested that
he live with his grandparents the boy cried out that they
beat him more
than anyone. The judge dramatically allowed the boy to
choose who should
have custody of him. Custody was granted to the All Black
rugby team this
morning as the boy firmly believes that they are not capable
of beating
anyone.

A guy walks into a bar with a beagle under his arm. The dog is wearing an England rugby jersey and is festooned with England pom-poms.
The bartender says, "Hey! No pets are allowed! You'll have to leave."
The guy begs him, "Look, I'm desperate! We're both big fans, the TV's broken at home, and this is the only place around where we can see the game."
After securing a promise that the dog will behave, and warning him that he and the dog will be thrown out if there's any trouble, the bartender relents and allows them to stay in the bar and watch the game. The big game begins with England receiving the kickoff. They march down field, get stopped at the 22, and kick a penalty goal.
Suddenly, the dog jumps up on the bar and begins walking up and down the bar giving high-fives to everyone.
The bartender says, "Wow, that is the most amazing thing I've seen! What does the dog do if they score a try?"
The owner replies, "I don't know, I've only had him for three years."
