This is turning into a joke now all he needed to say was that the matter has been dealt with.

England baiting seems to have become a bit of a RWC pastime. Just like the Tindall and dwarf throwing its another example of the media frenzy around the England squad at the moment. It cant be doing the players any good.

I guess I sympathise with them over the situation with the press, but cant help a smile at them having to face the scots tomorrow with all thishassle as well.

Most of that article is only. Someone's probably asked who's fault it was and he's said he's responsible for everything. The rest is rehashed old quotes. Hardly going on.

Hammer I don't know if he did say he is responsible or not but if he did then I think that was a bad move on his part.
It comes across as accepting responsibility but others can take the can for it.

"I am responsible for everything that happens here," Johnson said.

I just see it as him saying, "my guys did something wrong so I punished them." The IRB have already said they're not taking it any further so I don't see the issue.

When the Welsh start complaining about unfair twisting of non-stories to paint England in a negative light you know somethings up!

When the English start making pithy comments about the Welsh complaining about the unfair twisting of non stories to paint England in a negative light, you know they must be dull as poop
