I’m pretty sure it’s people as well.

I thought you were a teacher Nards? tut tut. I feel Gavin henson will have much to say about this!!

Yeah…it’s people’s, the possessive…as in “belongs to the people.” Meaning the spelling mistakes are theirs.

Really? I would never write or say it like that.

Well that’s why I’m from England and you guys are the poor English teachers! Or vice versa.

Haha, i’m actually a PE teacher. Who needs English?!

And the funny thing is I used to live in England from ages 4 to 9. Exeter for a year then Margate.

Not sure if anyone has posted the 2011 WC pools:

A:
New Zealand
Tonga
France
Japan
Canada

Dang it. This pool really irritates me. I already see France loosing to the All Blacks. And even to Tonga or Japan… lol.

Depends if they self implode due to their dickhead of a manager.

They generally do well in world cups… that kinda makes it sound like they play above themselves i suppose. They are a good team, just so inconsistent. You never know what team will turn up.

Are you from France, Darkninjaa?

Opposite ends of the country!

I moved to Exeter for a bit, then swiftly moved back because it is so quiet. Where abouts did you live?

Im guessing something along the lines of… ‘I’m not surprised, typical of a dumb mick’. Something like that.

Good thing for me, he’s finally not showing up anymore.

haha, I actually edited it straight away. Somehow my edit didn’t take effect.
In my defence my concentration was not fully on what I was typing!!!

Wait till Henson see’s this… I’ll never live it down!

France always give the All Blacks a good game. Their record against them is quite good. They even won in New Zealand in 2009 without their best team.

I’d bet my house France will never lose to Tonga, Japan or Canada. Definitely going to qualify, maybe even in first place. The world cup is so unpredictable that NZ could lose to France in the pool stages and still go on to win the whole thing.

Does anyone know if any team has ever gone on to win the whole thing having finished runner up in their group?

I think if France beat NZ, it will do them a huge favour. Like I said previously, NZ destroying every team in their group in 2007 really hindered them. When it came to play a team which was warmed up properly, they lost.

It might be what they need to pull their head out of their arses!

I’m just waiting for gavin to come back and see his spelling mistake.

I was so wrong. Another completely shit game from Wales and England.

No attacking endeavour whatsoever.

England has resorted to type and Wales were just shite.

On the bright side… Henson’s neck did a good job as a bicep warmer for Tom Wood…

Yep. i hate to sound like Stuart Barnes echo, but you were so poor in attack. Banahan is shite. He should of had a try in the first half.

I can’t see either team mounting a serious try in the WC. Wales were poor, and though strong in defence, that job was made easier by Englands complete lack of creativity.

I agree. He is very one dimensional, but you know what your’re gonna get, so i dont see how they can complain. He hasnt done himself many favours.

Its nice to see Martin Johnson literally devastated in the PM interview. Shows he cares.
