Into the abyss for English Rugby but Scots are confident

After four years of mediocrity England may be on their last legs but the World Champions believe they have what it takes to break Australian hearts again in the Rugby World Cup. The finalists of four years ago lock horns in the Stade Velodrome in Marseille tomorrow to compete for a place in the semi-finals and a possible meeting with the mighty All Blacks. While England have limped into the last eight Australia have reached it with an element of ease thought Wales did put them under a degree of pressure in Cardiff. It would be the shock of shocks if Brian Ashton's side were to dump the wallabies out of the tournament and England will more than likely be parting company with the Webb Ellis trophy tomorrow evening.
