England's success has me more depressed over Ireland's pathetic (non)performance.

lucky how? France never really threatened in the final 22m though they controlled the ball and phases in the middle of the park. It really just came down to Wilko's foot and how he is able to captain england. If anything, this game more then cemented Wilkinson's influence and him as a legendary player

Meh. You gotta be able to convert good position and possession into points if you're gonna win and France was just totally inefficient tonight.

Still, I kinda rooted for France after that wonderful attack where Chabal almost scored a try. You know the one I'm thinking of. But kinda symptomatic that France wasn't able to get any points out of that.

Also: Wilkinson still clutchest player ever...

I was thinking about the first goal. Lot would have changed without this damn rebound.

Eh, none of the kicks that Wilkinson hit were that difficult. He's a great player, but the extent to which he is built up is a little ridiculous.

That last drop kick has to be less than 50% I think. Anyway, the difficulty of the kicks isn't what makes it clutch. Clutchness comes from the ability to make standard plays in high pressure situations, and Wilkinson has proved that he has the ability to come through in such situations. But yeah, he might be overrated for all I know; I don't follow rugby that closely.
