He wasn't on for one of the games, he missed "easy for him" kicks in his last two games. We have 5 fewer tries than Oz, 8 more than France, 10 less than New Zeland.France are definately relying on their kicker Frederic Michalak as much as England have on Johnny W in the past. Both are fantastic kickers and are being used as clinical weapons, rightly so too - no point taking them otherwise. England also have Grayson who has kicked just as well as JW in the cup when he has made an appearance. Don't forget Catt who has a gifted boot too.Oz are as someone said paying too much attention to ex leaguers Rogers and Sailor, I agree. Sailor has failed to impress me much in the cup and has a hot head too. They've lost to NZ this year IMO I am afraid.NZ I cannot fault them, the devastating combination of Spencer and Rokocoko, let alone each and every other player in their squad have probably won them this cup.However, I would love England to come away with the title. France have me a little scared, they seem more disciplined than England and we cannot afford to give away penalties within our half of the pitch. Michalak will kick ass if we do. I hope Johnno can keep the heat off Neil Back and a couple of the others. If he can we can win at the weekend. If not we may have the travel agent in the changing room.England vs Newzeland final, I have to say it, otherwise there's no point following my country. England know they can beat them too, they've already done it this year so whats stopping that glory again, in the most important Rugby event? Nothing but a bit of discipline, maybe a re-read of the rulebook and practice, practice, practice!C'mon England!!</blockquote>
