I just feel drained after that. What a game, what a performance, what a result.

England, WORLD CHAMPIONS, WOW!

Usually finals end up being a bitter disappointment - this one certainly didn`t fall into that category. Tense - yes, mistakes - aplenty, passionate - definitely.

First half was excellent, second half nail-biting, extra time finger-biting until Wilko`s drop kick went over : as soon as he got the ball I knew we`d won it :)

Arise Sir Clive, methinks... :D

I feel like I played in that game! I was so tense it was scary, although not as scary as my bounding around the room after the final whistle. Just a pity I couldn`t get to a pub for the match (I was barely able to wake up).

A great squad effort (people seem to forget there`s more than Wilkinson on the pitch), and the support staff are to be highly commended.

One thing though - Andre Watson. I know we won, but he was dire. I don`t know if the bloke has ever played in the scrum in his life, but if he has, he`s forgotten everything! That bit of pulling down in the lineout that he missed could have cost us the cup. I think I`m going to send him a diagram with forward and backwards on it, just so he can apply it to Australia`s passing the next time.

Anyway, bitching aside that was the best final of the lot, and the most exciting, nail biting game I`ve seen in years. And we won!!!

Brilliant, I can`t believe it!

Did you see Mr Howard`s face giving the trophy to Johnson, what a graceless twat.

That aside, a fantastic achievement. ENGLAND WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!! :D :D :D

Hang on in here, WORLD? champions.
Rugby WORLD? cup,

All the major countries don`t have an intrest in it.
ASIA, AMERICA, MOST OF EUROPE, what does it mean to them?

I`ve said since the whole so called WORLD? cup started, that it isn`t played throughout
the world therefore it isn`t.

Like football or not, whatever you think is the best game out of the two.
Football will always be the true world sport.

England today might have as well as become the World champions of the egg and spoon race. It means the same to alot of countries.

Don`t talk crap. I think you`ll find both America and Japan were at the tournament, and most of Europe isn`t good enough to be there (and yes they do have teams). It`s hardly like the World Series of baseball is it? The game is massive in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia (almost like a religion in fact), and for a relatively small island - of which the national sport is football - to go over there and beat the world champions on their home soil… It`s nothing short of a massive achievement, and to suggest anything less is a disgrace.
