Some random thoughts during the England v Australia rugby match -
Robbie Deans singing Advance Australia Fair - Robbie, you have fair sold your soul to the devil on that one. Coaching the team I can understand, singing the anthem, less so.
Johnny Wilkinson kicking a drop goal, takes me back to those late 90s games where 90% of the scoring was due to drop kicks. Good on you England and South Africa, and no, don't mention the amount of games Mehrtens won for us scoring that way.
A rolling maul from the English - took me fair back to the mid to late 80s Auckland team, who always seemed to do that for 90% of the game. And they always seemed to be playing Canterbury for the Ranfurly Shield lol.
And yes, I know that the All Blacks v Wales is on, but that's not being covered on free to air TV, beggars can't be choosers, and we get so little rugby on free TV as it is, though I may go to bed at any moment - or should that be go to sleep with the entertainment value lol.
