    Imagine the ego smashing that's going to go on with Eddie and Mitchell, who hasn't been an assistant for years

    Mitchell's notorious track record - england

    Mitchell's notorious track record - england

    The Bulls and head coach John Mitchell are heading for an unceremonious and bitter divorce, with reports of a move to be England's defence coach a 'done deal' - despite Mitchell's current contract running until the end of 2019.

    Bwahahahahaha

    Are you referring to 2003 when he assisted the Wallabies into the final of the RWC?

    As much as I hate to say it, par for 2003 WC would really have been second. England results in the run-in to that tournament were very hard to argue against.

    However, big difference between 2nd and 3rd. We had the cattle to get over the line in that semi, just not the whole package. I don't think we had the cattle to win it though.

    I do agree generally, although I do think we could have beaten England. I gave us a 40% chance.

    I felt we had outmuscled them in the forwards in Wellington* but they did enough to win. We were especially effective in thst game (and the two big scoring games in SA and Aus) when we kept it very close to the forwards (pick and gos, one off runners etc). When we tried to go a little wider v Aus in the semi we got picked off and shut down. I was expecting (hoping for) similar forward dominance in the final. Shame there was no final in 03 ...

    But it would have been an injustice (one I coukd have lived with) if England had lost that.

    Talking about injustices, poor Rodders copped a lot for that non try when, in reality he was robbed.

    Fair, we definintely could have. One thing that England had, regardless of ability, by that stage was big match temperance. The semi showed that was one thing we didn't have.

    I never believed we got as smashed in Wellington as the UK press would have you believe. The superlatives used to describe how the forwards beat us up in that game were off the scale bullshit. One 6 man scrum, does not dictate 80 minutes of rugby.

    All heresay anyway ... the bastards won, we came 3rd, and I got laid.

    Every rose, etc.
