And their biggest ever defeat
Did I imagine ITV adding 2 points for each of the NZ "conversions", only to take them off again?
France look unsurprisingly strong.
Alldritt, Ollivon and Ramos were exceptional tonight.
World Cup prediction time.France to beat South Africa in the final, should be close but home advantage might swing it for Les Bleus.Ireland to go out in the quarter finals, and still not have made a World Cup semi-final.England to go as far as (if not further than) Ireland in the tournament.
Usually I can't be bothered with the 'I don't support England' type of English self-hatred, but something just stops me with English rugby union. I think Cipriani's memoir explains some of the attitude I just can't get behind. Also I went to a posh school and many of the rugby lads were just the dirt worst - which is unfair, and hey I support England at cricket when the biggest c**t in the school was the cricket captain, but I guess it's the aggregate impression.That said, would love to commit more to the Irish support but being the most plastic of plastic paddies it sort of feels fake. Maybe around here I can get away with it.
