‘Ageing’ Poms take Aussie press bashing in stride

CLIVE WOODWARD has dismissed the latest round of Pommie-bashing as momentum gathered towards Saturday’s World Cup final showdown against Australia.

Woodward and his players continue to take it all in their stride, knowing that the ultimate statement will be made on Saturday if they are crowned world champions.
