They cannot even defeat australia no matter how many times they try.<br /><br />point 5: this cooper thing is something which was not so clear before this autumn series, especially after a pretty average super xv, but you are not the first one to tip australia for the rwc.<br /><br />Aside from the previous things it is not very pleasant to see how rwc-focused these 5 things are. 4 of the things you learnt are directly related to it. It is surprising that this event gathers all your interest, even more so in a year where the supposedly "ultimate challenge" of the home nations not only took place but was also succesful 12 years after last time.<br /><br />I mean, there are hundreds of things going on in rugby and all your focus seems in an event 2 years away.<br /><br />As if rugby in itself were less important outside the rwc.<br /><br />Not a very pleasant thought.sesenta y cuatrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047783813626368528noreply@blogger.com
