coralcom – England’s Rugby Woes
Category: Sports
coralcom – Last year when Martin Johnson took over the job of coaching England’s Rugby Union side all the fans me included were anticipating major things from the English team after his promise of a more fluent and attacking style of Rugby which as of yet I have to admit has not been any better to what we witnessed under the old regime.
On Saturday England were dismantled by an Australian side that itself has not been performing well of late, from the kick off you sort of felt that there was only one team in this game with the Australian pack all over the English from the off and by full time were unlucky to only win by 14 points in the England 14 Australia 28 score line. Matt Giteau’s was the chief tormentor for his side, with both great passing and immaculate kicking display he punished England from start to finish as Australia gained a little revenge for their World Cup quarter-final defeat in France last year.
The English Rugby League boys have not fared any better in their World Cup quest down under either, after a blood bath of an opening match against Papua New Guinea in which they only just come through as victors the English Rugby League team took an absolute battering off the best team in the world by a mile in Australia then suffered back to back defeats against the New Zealand All Blacks once in the round robin fixtures then again in the Semi Final to leave all English Rugby fans a bit down hearted before the Six nations tournament begins.
