It just keeps getting better, long live the underdog

We are in the world cup final again.
The England team were written off after losing in the group stages to South Africa, but they have only gone and beaten France and are in the World cup final again.
The French team just didnt show up as they did against New Zealand, and it was probably a good job. England didn't play particularly well, but well enough to win.
Of Course the headlines will be about Jonny Wilkinson, and rightly so, he is the best fly half in the world, and has proved it yet again. But the whole team deserves a mention.
Sheridan, Regan, Vickery, Shaw, Kay, Easter, Moody, Corry, Gomarsall, Catt, Tait, Robinson, Lewsey, Sackey, Stevens, Chuter, Dallaglio, Flood, Richards, especially Joe Worsley for the best tackle of his life.

Argentina? South Africa again? Who cares, the Coach Brian Ashton is 80 minutes of rugby away from a Knighthood.

I think we'll win it.

I would love it if we did, but after seeing the clinical way the South Africans dispatched the Pumas, I am not so sure now.
