After watching every world cup since "87 i knew immediatly that England was the most undeserving champion in the history of the game.
Problem all other teams at that time sucked too, so you could say england sucked less than the majority?
There dominance is now a thing of the past, now england must go through a long period of rebuilding while getting whiped left right and center.
Nothing really to add, but I’d just like to point out that Malacandra’s brief history of Rugby since the seventies kicks ass.
And that it was good to see England go down…
Says the guy whose team has choked in every WC since the first one. Talking about dominance being a thing of the past… you, my friend, can go and sit next to Achilles.
England badly needed a groundhog in the back row. Three tall lads couldn’t cut it at the breakdown. Keith Gleeson, our pale imitation of Neil Back, had a field day.
Why, thank you. And of course in the great Welsh golden age of the Seventies, when they had Gareth Edwards, Barry John (or Phil Bennett), JPR Williams and the Pontypool Front Row, they had the odd run-in with the All Blacks, and those games kicked major ass.
Shush, you! 
Talking of inappropriate designations, I remember a few years back a game in which Ireland had a penalty near the right-hand touchline, and instead of the usual place-kicker (can’t remember who), it was delegated to that very fine footballer Conor O’Shea. The commentator helpfully explained that this was because “O’Shea is a left-footer”. Not the kind of remark you normally bandy around in Irish circles, I thought at the time 
6 Nations - pah! Have you seen how good the Australian teams (well ACT and NSW) are doing in the Super 12s? I personally cannot wait until June, when the Wallabies show England who really are the best team in the world.
Stephen Larkham is going to give Sir Jonny of Humbleshire a rugby lesson, and I predict that the hiding will be similar to the last time England played Australia in Brisbane.
Sorry, force of habit.
The ENGLISH took it very well.
's not just you: a Dublin cabbie once told me that “Scotland are playing the Brits today”.
You still don’t get it do you? Just going on and on about what you will do to the English next time doesn’t mean zip.
You have to do it on the pitch too.
