Can anyone remember why the 1999 RWC didn't go ahead? Was there strike action or foot and mouth disease or something like that.
Serious concerns about the threat of Y2K

@Crazy-Horse Aus won CWC in 1999....
Be careful what you wish for. 1999 looms like a dark cloud over everything we do, a glorious period which we will never match, but we constantly yearn for.
It gave a young me the taste of victory so sweet I've been chasing it ever since, like a junkie craving a hit. Yet deep down I know the sensation can never be replicated.
It's the same reason I've never bedded a supermodel or been to the summit of Everest. Obviously I could do both if I wanted, but it would ruin my future.
Well, I'm bloody pleased that 1999-2003 period had some detrimental effects!
God, that was a horrible time! Sydney fucking Olympics...medal table....
You feckers were never more girt than you were in those three or four years. I believe our Guv'ment even reduced our territorial waters simply to increase your girtiness!

I don't want to be mean but that might not be the reason. Just speaking from experience.
Of bedding @barbarian ... ?

I’m not even gonna dignify this with a response. Instead I’ll leave it to @Virgil to get in there with some offensive Aussie memes.
The floor is his.

I don’t believe we could win a CWC and a RWC in one year ?
I mean it’s possible ,
but I just don’t believe things could ever get that good .

Issue with the clocks. Ours stopped at half time.

Just been offered two corporate hospitality tickets for the final, at £2,500 pp + VAT.....yeah nah.
I was on viagogo soon after yesterday to see where it's at.
968 was the lowest offer ... and that was in the non-drinking family section. After that it popped up to 1600 ish.
Don't think I can justify that ... think ...

Perhaps the same reason the 99 Bledisloe never happened?

Good luck to the black caps, will be rooting hard for them.
I had expected an India-NZ final, with India winning
- but it just wasn't meant to be for India.NZ and the Windies are the guys I'd like to see win it if not India. And here we are.
After all these years of regularly making the knock-outs, I really hope the kiwis can manage to finish the job - would hate to see the pompous pommies win it.
Here's hoping Colin Munro is back in the XI and does the haka on England bowlers in the 1st 10 overs.

Either way, I still wouldn't have slept with a super model...

Oh well England will have to do, had hoped for a shot at redemption vs the Aussies.
Meanwhile the Aussie press conference after the loss to England....

As someone who watches way less cricket than rugby...have we got a realistic chance? Watching the highlights, England looked like they totally destroyed Australia.

To have a chance to win you need to make the start line. So we have that, a starter's chance
