Getting the gist?

Our problem is that we haven't got enough South Africans in our international football and rugby teams yet.

Need to start breeding some Anglo-South African tennis players too.

English and South Africans working together is the winning formula.

Mike Catt is of course a perfect example.

I'm behind Wales as I see myself British 1st and English 2nd.

I can't help thinking back to 2007 when England where in the final that the Welsh public weren't behind England?

What a nice bunch us English are. Very Happy

I supported England in 2007 against Australia and France.

Boy do I regret that now.

I watched the 07 final in Cardiff. We responded to any cheers for SA with chants of "Fiji!" It's a love-hate thing Hug

asked the game's governing bodies to reduce the residency qualification requirements to be slackened to encompass day-trippers.They had considered asking to allow people who had thought of visiting England to become eligible but even the RFU thought that this was daft.

Hopefully Martin Johnson will keep his job and rebuild England into a team their loyal fans deserve.

Keep it in perspective England you lost am international game to France, not for the first time either. They have bloody good players and were the better team on the day. England could so easily of won against France, and Wales could so easily of lost to Ireland the margins and small in 2011.

P.S - all the celts were behind you in 2003 against Australia, even if they won't admit it now. Hug

yeah but you forgot to add are a disgrace to the standard of behaviour expected of players at a rugby world cup

by damngoodOvalball Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:36 pm

Boyne fella, do you still have such issues with Martin Johnson because he refused to move in Dublin and that old biddy had to stumble around in the mud like a drunkard?

by offload Sun Oct 16, 2011 7:01 pm

....bowed out of the rugby world cup with dignity, as usual a credit to their gracious supporters.

by english warrior Sun Oct 16, 2011 9:58 pm

England beat Wales, Scotland, France and Italy, before losing to Ireland and hence winning the 6 nations before having a disappointing World cup, but winning 4 out of 5 games so not bad.

In Cricket England became the number one side in the World and in Football were as crap as they've ever been over the last 20 or so years, but then again i don't give a hoot about Football.

In 2011, England...

won the 6 nations but didn't win the world cup.

In 2011, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Italy...

didn't win the 6 nations and didn't win the world cup either.

I've put the bit where a NH country won something in bold in case anybody isn't sure.

France may yet pip England for winning the most important silverware by a NH side but I doubt it.
