Congratulations. Title: Re: England win the World Cup Post by: MahoganyVic on June 20, 2014, 11:41:29 AM Just watched this, great performance. Only question is though, how do people look like that at u20? They all looked in their 30's!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqkRfDsIEAAuT9p.jpg) clearly a talented team, but the physical advantages some of these lads have, in part from being in full time rugby set ups, are a big boost at u20 it evens out when all the players from every set up are at full maturity.

I'm pretty sure that they didn't take a single penalty shot at goal. They were 2 points down a minute before half-time and kicked to touch. They were still 2 points down in the second half and took a scrum from 10m out in front of the posts and later kicked for touch from near the same position. This was all in pouring rain. |
