by Claudia Sonea

After the match with Samoa, England rugby team become more confident and said they are back on their track and looking forward for the next match with Tonga at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Whoever wins will go out from the pool A and meet Australia in the quarter final. If they fail, they will remain in the World Cup records as the first champions that not only did not managed to keep the title, but also did not get in the last eight. Their performance opened with 28-10 win against US, followed36-0 defeat to South Africa and the last score of 44-22 with Samoa determined blindside flanker Corry who led the team and will continue to do it despite the recovery of World Cup captain and prop forward Phil Vickery, to state that they are expected to win the game and they have on their side momentum, therefore they are positive and focused on them. Also he confessed to be very impressed by Tonga's line of defense that they studied carefully. It's a team that made a lot of trouble to all the others, even South Africa won with 30 to 25. England coach Brian Ashton revealed that today's match will be more tensed and difficult. He said that he hopes the referees will handle the main issues and that outside-half Jonny Wilkinson knows to take care of his own there on the field. All the players agreed they like when fans make a lot of noise at match and despite that at the last match fans where more or less on their side. So give them a chance and you might be surprised how well they can prove to be. Good luck fellows!
