On top of the world!!!!

[wayfaringwordhack]

In the North vs South rugby matches today, England and France snatched the wins from Australia and New Zealand.  Yeah, I feel on top of the world!

Next week: England vs France.

What do you think, footlingagain? Les Bleus or Le Quinze de la Rose?

They do! The proof. Actually NZ only ever won the first World Cup back in '87. This is the first time, I believe, that they have been knocked out in the quarter finals. It was time we took them; we've lost our last five matches against them.

Australia has won twice, so I'm glad England took them. As good as the English and South African teams are, I hope they lose in the coming the rounds. They've won the cup already. I'm all about underdogs. I would love for France to come out victorious, of course (we never have), but I'd be thrilled if Argentina, Scotland, or Fiji won.

I'm no sure why, but it's amusing/impressive to see Fiji in the quarters of a competition the U.S. didn't even qualify for.

we've lost our last five matches against them. Make that seven.

True about Fiji, but I think they have a lot more pro players than the US team. I believe that out of 30, only a half dozen US players are on pro teams.
