If into anniversary omens ... Some hopeful news for England for 2022 !

[The Partisan]

100 years ago .....Beat Australia in 1922 (as England ...In January 1922 as part of the 1921 -22 Ashes Tour.)

50 Years ago .....Beat Australia in the 1972 World Cup group stage match (albeit as GB). Drew the final (after extra time) but awarded the trophy due to the group stage win. 

2022 ?

Started this thread 9 months ago today and with the comp now about to begin I wonder if the omen works out.

 

Perhaps England now beat Australia in extra time in the final ......

Do you want me to have an heart attack? Can we just make it smash the Aussies 50-0 in the first half and them walk off the pitch at halftime crying and disgraced?

Nah a poorly executed field goal from an exhausted prop forward, who unexpectedly ended up with the ball in the last moments of extra time,  that wobbles upwards then hits all three beams before limping over the bar is the ending I would prefer.

Have the defibrillator handy

How about a debatable match winning penalty try awarded to England? Ashley Klein would be the ref.

It wouldn't if it was Chris Kendall.
