allblacks.xtra.co.nz/news:- OK Dad's Army may be not far off collecting their pensions, but in men like Jonny Wilkinson - England's new national treasure - Steve Thompson, Ben Kay, Ben Cohen, Lewis Moody, Josh Lewsey, Mike Tindall and co there is plenty of youth already there and no shortage of ready made replacements on their way.

It is no longer good enough for us to shrug our shoulders and grumble about their boring style and smile self-satisfyingly that they'll never win matches without scoring tries. We've all been shown, quite clearly, that they can.

Ben on that RWC final try - "And then the @&*@£ passed the ball left!"
