Re: Rugby World Cup...
For heavens sake, why can't all you rugby supporters behave like men and accept that there is a loser in every game?I have been a rugby supporter for more than 45 years & have met a few top players. I even looked after Lawrence Dallaglio's mum when she came to our club to watch a match.
In all that time i have never met a good player who didn't have the grace to admit that they were beaten by a better team on the day! Rugby supporters don't argue about who should have won, they just make sure that next time they win......and that is why there is never the nasty violence from supporters, like you see after Football matches!
Come on lads, there is no best team, there is just the team that played best on the day & I would support any UK team.
When Jonah Lomu played for the All Blacks, I have been know to support them when they played a great match!

Re: Rugby World Cup...
In the absence of the All Blacks in the final, I was hoping for an England win but I was very disappointed at the medal ceremony at all the grumpy faces and the treatment of the officials handing out the medals. Sure, to lose is a big blow but acknowledge the winners and accept gracefully, please.04-11-2019, 08:02 AM

I suggest they were unhappy with their own performance......as any competitor would be having lost in a final.
When did that become a National trait?
Only an utter cock would call that out as a national trait.
