32 - 31 but that score isn't a true representation of the game, which I watched
live from 1:30 am through to finish 3:30 am. England had a huge amount of
possession throughout the game [72% in the first half] but I suppose the OZ
defence was relentless.

I still think Rugby's a scrappy game, those rucks and mauls frustrate me. Shame
Rugby League isn't more universal, a much, much faster game.

Better off drinking it out.

In the gambling game what we say "you can't educate mugs, one born every
minute" - 50,000/1 would be unders.

Indeed. England not doing to well against our "second stringers".

Australia, the only country in the world to deliberately field a second level
team to even up the rest of the worlds chances.
