This is the England Supporters thread:D


REASONS WHY ENGLAND CAN WIN

THE SCRUM

England's front-row of Andrew Sheridan, Mark Regan and Phil Vickery produced magnificent scrummaging performances in the quarter-final victory over Australia and semi-final success against France.

Sheridan is arguably the world's finest loosehead prop at present, and with England also likely to send on Matt Stevens from the bench for Vickery - a familiar move in this tournament - South Africa will be severely tested.

JONNY WILKINSON

Fly-half Wilkinson is the player South Africa fear above any other. In the four games he has played during the tournament, England have won them all and Wilkinson has amassed 61 points.

He remains a player with an ice-cool temperament for the big occasion, as his late match-winning kicks against France proved. There will be huge pressure on his shoulders this weekend, but that is something he thrives upon.

BULLDOG SPIRIT

England's self-styled band of brothers have developed an unquenchable team spirit during the past month, picking themselves up off the canvas after South Africa smashed them 36-0 en route to topping Pool A.

Hooker Mark Regan likens the atmosphere and banter with that of a club side, and if they continue to keep the faith with each other, another memorable result is not beyond the realms of possibility.

JASON ROBINSON

England full-back Robinson produced one of the tournament's great individual displays against South Africa last month before limping off with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for three weeks.

He returned against Australia, carrying world-class form into the France game a week later. He will retire from Test rugby after the final, and one of England's finest-ever players will do everything he can to bow out on a high.

BRIAN ASHTON

England's head coach will be rewarded for steering England into another World Cup final with a new contract likely to incorporate the next tournament in 2011.

He has brought a refreshing approach to the top job in English rugby, and given what England have already achieved in this competition, who is to say he won't be addressed as ``Sir Brian'' later this year.

The national Anthum...All sing along now


Land of Hope and Glory,
Mother of the free,
How shall we extole thee,
Who are born of thee,
Wider and still wider,
Shall thy bounds be set,
God who made the mighty,
Make thee mightier yet!!,
God who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet!
 
What a joke, for Englishman to think they going to win.... ya right!!! please come on, honestly do they deserve it.... for they way you treated our woman, children; boer war... it time for pay back..... Go Bokke!!!
 
i count 5 reasons on that list! when i look at the SA squad i count 15 reasons.
 
The Game hasnt been played yet.... dont count the chickens before the eggs have hatched...

50/50 Chance here.
 
No, I realize we need to wait for the final whistle. England isn't the same since the 36-0 knock, but I still have a 100% doubt we will pull it off!

QFT - Well said sir. :D
 
why SA will win

Percy- one of the most reliable goal kickers in the game at the moment, also solid on the last line of defence and reasonably comfortable under the high ball

Habana-peerless finisher, devastating defender considering his 92kg frame, exceptional pace on a rugby field, interceptor extradinare

Fourie Du Preez- best scrumhalf in the world at the moment,blitz over 40 yards and the big lumbering loose forwards that are easter and moody won't smell him as was the case in the pool game

Schalkie- has physical presence to match english giants, gives 150% and was irb player of the year so his reputation proceeds him

Victor and Bakkies- best pair of locks in the world, Bakkies the enforcer, Victor the lineout king

John Smit- inspirational captain and leader, not a bad hooker either,

I hope the Boks can overcome their nerves and I hope the weather plays its part. We need to play an expansive game of rugby which by definition is high risk but it will pay dividends as we have the talent in the backline to seriously expose england. If we play a conservative kicking game it could be a long afternoon for the Boks...
