Bitter rivalry set for new dramatic chapter
When it comes to ritual sporting humiliation, England have more often than not resembled the bloodied corpse and Australia, the merciless executioner.The 2005 Ashes cricket success and the 2003 rugby World Cup triumph have been rare highlights for England's long-suffering fans who have grown wearily familiar with the power of the Australian juggernaut.
When it comes to the rugby World Cup, the English can at least boast a level playing field with two wins apiece ahead of Sunday's (NZ time) eagerly-awaited quarter-final in Marseille.
