Lewsey try against France 2003

Awesome England from 2003. Lewsey may have had his name on the scoresheet, but it was a fantastic team's try.

just read all of the comments below. To be hounest England and wales are both highly competitive and brilliant teams! thats a fact you can not deny it both teams have had success...it just so happens at the hight of englands success they managed to go an entire year with it! i am talking about the 2003 year. Wales on the other hand have had success of there own. I feel it is only time before the welsh have victory of there own in the world cup!

England had far more than just 1 year of success. They were at their best in 2001/2002. That team put together 24 wins out of 25 consecutive games. And the 1 they lost was by 1 point in France with their second team out. Wales will only be considered great when they manage to beat Southern hemisphere teams home and away like England did for 9 consecutive games. One off wins against Australia every so often don't count, Wales need to show they are world beaters and are no where near that yet.

England are hopeless!

[motion2005]

So hopeless we managed to dump the arrogant Aussies out of the 2007 World cup.

@moroll Wales had a very good team in 2003 anyway, and I wish we beat France by this much in the semies of the RWC that year.. damn

i dont think there is much difference between the top 5 ranked teams in the world (NZ, AUS, RSA, FRA, ENG), i think at the end of the day it just comes to down to self belief, any of those teams that genuinely think they can win the world cup could do it

There's a forward pass at 14.00.

But there's also a dangerous tackle à 31.00 probably from Liebenberg (his look... and his style of play) that worths a yellow card.

All in all, at the 80th minute and a 38-9 lead... that doesn't change anything !

England was nearly unbeatable at that time. Probably the best team they ever had.

@moroll I think Wales have unfortunately already had their hight of greatness, and that during the world cup, they will always be overshadowed by the strong Southern hemispheres and England (previous world cup winners), and increasingly France. For Wales to be within a hope of winning the world cup, they would have to win the Six Nations with a staggering Grand Slam victory and win all of their tours. Therefore, they need a lot more skill and time. World cup not for now, Welsh fans. Very sorry!!
