Wheels may yet come off chariot

CORNE KRIGE, the South African captain, made a very interesting statement in the aftermath of his side’s 53-3 walloping by England last weekend.

“I do not rate England that much,” said Corne. “I think they can be taken. We saw things that make us excited about facing them in the World Cup.”

Interesting, when you consider that anyone who has read or tuned into the English rugby media this week has been drenched by the gushing praise heaped upon Clive Woodward and his men.
