English rugby team
by Claudia Sonea
After winning against France (les bleus) with a score of 14-9 on the Stade de France, English rugby team is praised by all those that criticized it during the last four years for its performance. Indeed they did not succeeded to win or to get even to the semi-finals after the winning of the World Cup in 2003. Not few people were surprised for getting into the semi-finals, however they obtained the respect of everyone. All England was celebrating their victory and even Prime Minister Brown had congratulated them. Moreover, they are lucky on all plans, not only on the field, but lately in the Web-based searches too. They knocked down the football team for the first time according to a report on Monday. The team's march towards the World Cup Final brought them a six-fold rise in the number of UK searches said online audience measurement firm Hitwise. Although the firm does not give actual numbers, it revealed a 250 percent increase in the search for the most popular rugby player, flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson. He was the team's hero and got many people to stand up and applaud him. Despite this terrific growth- both in female fans and popularity- rugby still cannot compete with football, the most popular sport in UK. However, things are heading for the best for this sport that had even royal attendance at the game. Prince Harry gasped when the score turned in favor of the English team. Don't go away!more to come!
