Lessons From the England Rugby Team

1. Being able to handle pressure is more important than individual talent.
2. It's about how good you are, not how old you are
3. Play to your strengths, don't dwell on your weaknesses
4. Never stop believing in yourself.
5. Stick together during a crisis
6. Learn from your defeats

It's been a fairtale for the players. Especially for Jonny who has been crocked for the past 4 years and Jason Robinson who thought his career was over. I don't care who we play in the final. We'd feel more confident against Argentina, but imagine how motivating it would be to try and avenge the 36-0 defeat v South Africa. Now that would really be a miracle.
