World Cup Memories - Neil Back

On the eve of the Rugby World Cup, RugbyPass sits down with some of the greats of the game to relive their memories of the tournament.

ADVERTISEMENT

An England immortal from the World Cup-winning 2003 squad, Neil Back chats with former Leicester team-mate Jim Hamilton about his Rugby World Cup memories.

Between Lewis Moody and the Queen’s corgis, Austin Healey’s near-miss and what Back’s fellow England team-mates really thought of their half-time coaches pep talk, the 66-cap back row gives us his warts and all take on England’s victorious World Cup campaign in Australia.

Brought to you by ISUZU Rugby, this is Neil Back’s ‘World Cup Memories’.

Israel exists whether you or I choose to support it or not. I bought some grapes grown in Israel the other day in no way means I support the oppression of Palestinians or the current Israeli war in their territories.

Is it possible for NZ to lose without blaming the referee or TMO? Do they have any self awareness. You are by a long way the most unsportsmanlike whingers in world rugby.

England A player ratings vs Australia A | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

Shame about the present though.


Borthwick needs to give at least 3 or 4 of England A a start against Japan next week. I’d like to see Dingwall at 12 with Lawrence in his preferred 13 slot.

This Springboks team still relies largely on vibes

I've not once felt satisfied with the output vs potential of the boks, or, if you're going to cite inferior opposition, the consistency of good performances. But I know why they are not playing to potential yet. It's all good.

I know it’s only Wales, but I’m really impressed with Australia’s play and style.


Just asking for a friend. If Australia wins, do they overtake England in the rankings like I said they would?

'Who gives a crap?' Animosity towards the Springboks is proof of their dominance

Public figure, public scrutiny. Rassie still drops powerful bombs despite grievous accusations. He doesn't let it destroy him. When there's fair comment, let it rain down. When it's rubbish, keep calm and carry on.

Funny but sad how this poor soul runs out of people to stalk and harass as they all block him, and then changes his name so they'll talk to him again.

Four England talking points after they blow it again down the finish

Steward is a defensive liability at the international level.

Dude costs England two tries per game. How many proofs does Borthwick need to see?

France player ratings vs All Blacks | Autumn Nations Series

Just insanely inflated ratings.

At this time we have to assume, that this is a pure troll.

They just want traction under the article, so they provoke. The whole RugbyPass is turning into Ben Smith. Tabloid clickbait, biased nonsense.

Aldritt with the best performance ever?

Dude handed Roigaard an intercept try on a silver plate.

Stephen Jones is a proxy for the NH rugby bosses and his article is a softener to prepare us proles for a rule change.

‘We’re in control’: Ardie Savea reflects on All Blacks’ loss to France

What's improved to my eye's is this group has developed a bit of ticker and belief. They've grown tight as the overused cliché goes, and they stay in for the fight until the end. Earlier in the season they were just wilting after the break. And what's pleasing is the number of young guys contributing, particularly in the forwards. It's a good foundation to build on. Yes third is a fair enough appraisal on current form. Though I disagree this French team can't beat South Africa, if they turn up mentally, on their day they can beat anyone. It's consistency that will always plague the French.

They could easily be 11 from 11 and yet have they once, for an entire match, put in a commanding show?

Missed the games again Wales, Portugal, Australia, Argentina at Bombela?


Our tight victories have come against the best teams in the world. Pretty normal.
