I concur. But I'm not really a rugby fan, it comes a very distant third behind footy and cricket for me, so I haven't watched that much top level rugby.
It seems to me that that matched anything England played in 2003, no? I had the sense that without Wilkinson, they might well not have won it. But this current team doesn't seem to depend as much on any one player.
It would be pretty cool for England to be double world champions in the same calendar year.
we had a pack in 2003 that was one of the best England have produced that gave the platform for the backs to perform, JW made the difference against France in the semi in a rain soaked pen fest but the saying “forwards decides who win and the backs by how many” applies now as did then, our back row today way other worldly
