Fi Fye Fo Fum

I smell the blood of an Englishman.

Our new kiwi coach Robbie Deans has really tapped into the Wallabies as a bunch of backs again and we have beaten Ireland and France pretty convincingly in recent weeks.

Makes sense to me. It's all about movement with us. We are rugby league players in this country.

Our defense is still good. We held France off our line for long periods of time (with one mistake) and Stirlo pulled off an intercept try. It reminded me or the 2003 World Cup semi against NZ.

We've improved on the breakdown as well. The main lesson we need to learn to beat England. Clearing people out not by standing still and pushing hard, but by getting a run-up (movement once again) and crashing in there.

Poetry in motion. The poetry of PAIN!

Bring on the Poms.
