England 23-21 South Africa
Huge sigh of relief GB that they didn't set a team record and lose eight in row. Good to see they stopped that "downward" spiral for the moment at least.

Wales 61-26 Canada
I'm sure Canada is disappointed with this result, but it is good to see Wales playing well.

Ireland moved up two, past both Australia and South Africa. England dropped to 7th a week ago and are now behind Argentina. Beautiful.
And NZ is making a mockery of the rest of the planet. Even more beautiful.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! England arn't GB! England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are GB & Ireland (every few years or so). But England are not GB!!!! Just thought I'd make that clear.
England's position is as a result of their results and performance. Argentina are on the rise and thus credit is where credit is due.
When you get back to Canada, I recommend you find a torrent of the Ireland vs Australia game. Ireland just camped in Australia's 22 for about 70 minutes. Australia never attacked once!

I was directing the comment at GB - GreatBriton, rubbing some salt in his wounds. I wasn't calling England GB - Great Britain.
Because he finally posted a score when England finally won a game, I had to take a poke at him.

Yeah, that was nice. Bless

Latest Scores
England 14-9 South Africa
Scotland 10-16 Australia
Looks like Scotland's "Golden Years" are coming to an end.
And it looks like England are starting to win games again, so our new, young team is starting to gel. The future's looking good for England. Our new team is starting to come together.
Poor Scotland. HAHAHAHA!
GreatBriton @ Sat Nov 25, 2006 10:36 am
Well, England lost 14-25 but in many ways we played some of our best rugby for a long time. England - unlikes Wales or Scotland or Ireland - are rebuilding their team. They are a team in transition.
Even though we lost, I can take some consolation in the knowledge that the Scots were destroyed 15-44 by a weak Australia team and that, in all probability, Wales are gonna be ripped to shreds by New Zealand.
Today's scores -
England 14-25 South Africa
Scotland 15-44 Australia
France 27-26 Argentina
Italy 41-6 Canada

It's rugby. It's a bit like American Football only played by tougher men and with much less body armour. And it doesn't keep stopping every 30 seconds everytime someone catches the ball.

Another result -
Wales 10-45 New Zealand

Yes I probably would be snapped in half playing rugby. If you looked at some of those American football players though they are huge and their arms are bigger than my legs. Ids probably die in both sports pads or no pads.

Ita 41 Canada 6
Italy seems to be improving, or is Canada a third-world version of England?
England 14 SA 25
England continues their slide and has to be disappointed. Though SA did score four drop goals. Is that a record?
Scots 15 Aus 44
Ouch. Scotland must be disappointed too. dimoreien, were you there?
France 27 Arg 26
Argentina seems to be improving too.
Wales 10 NZ 45
No surprises here. Wales might be a bit disappointed.
With Scotland and Wales both losing, I don't think England will slide further down the World rankings. Bring on the Super 14!
