I`m not really into rugby, but will always support England obviously. As for football, why would any working class person want to sit there pandering to the ego`s of 22 millionaires kicking a bag of wind around, only to fall over clutching their leg in so called agony because they broke a boot lace.  Personally, i`d ban football from the planet.

perhaps the americans should take up football - I for one would love to see 22 millionaires kick around a bag of wind, but best I dont say any more as it might be thought political if I went further.

Apologies for a slight "political" tinge! Watching "The Codebreakers" will show very well why I have such a distaste for "kick and clap".

Its being shown on BBC2 Wales but will be available on iplayer.

And this is well worth a read for the background story

I don't think England need to get too upset, we have had a bad tournament yes, but we have an awful lot of players missing. It was always going to be a challenge. What we are perhaps seeing is that the second string is not as strong as we thought it was, especially amongst the forwards.
