i personnally disagree.

i am ENGLISH,not BRITISH............. :nono:

yes family relations from the past were french and italian but i was born/raised/live in ENGLAND so therefore i am ENGLISH.

causes problems some times whenever i go through immigration and if asked i say i am ENGLISH.

but people get get confused as i have a UK passport........... :angry:

in certain international events sometimes the countries around me are classed as one and called the UK or whatever.

but in others the different countries of the UK are allowed to enter under the name of their true identity which is all for the good.

 

i prefer this option,after all we had in the enlish rugby team a fella from Samoa or somewhere like that.

i do not agree,all the players should be ENGLISH.

i can imagine the outrage if australia/new zealand were classed as one team and had to play under the name of the Antipoedians or such like.

 

Hey, right now I'd be thrilled if we had an ANZAC Rugby team - when those born in Australia started playing the way the Wallabies did last night, the coach could just bring them off and slide in Kiwi-born players ! It was clear from the outset which team wanted it more last night.

 

On a slightly different note, our League team beat the Kiwis 42-6, but this is a thread about the Rugby World Cup and I hope NZ go all the way against the dirty, dirty French.

 

(PS If there is a 'United Kingdom' under the House of Windsor, it wasn't at the behest of the Irish, Scots or Welsh, but thats a topic for another thread)

i agree about about the UK and if others agree with it.

we have a history of different countries taking control over many centuries but at the moment we are classed as the UK wether everyone agrees.

i could also have a rant about this situation but as you say that's for another thread.

 

watched the final and had mixed thoughts.

 

not the best haka i've seen performed but loved the french response in standing up to it and showing respect and no fear.

the french were given no chance but gave a great performance.

the 2nd half was fantastic as the french had the upper hand and certainly had NZ rocking and reeling.

but i cannot wonder about kicking in this WC,so many games where specialist kickers were off target and that certainly makes a difference in a game.

the french finally came good and gave a good game.

 

i don't much about the rules of the game but i thought the ref tended to side with NZ and give them a lot of debatable decisions.... :dunno:

 

but i liked the attitude of the french.

they won the toss for choice of shirt colour but said as it was NZ in the final and in their home country then they should be allowed to wear the famous black shirts,a good gesture.... :applause:
