    OK, so if you consider the death of soldiers something that doesn't matter, then I hope that Ireland, Wales and Scotland never win the RWC if it means us rugby fans end up turning into people like you.

    I realise you may have forgotten that England is part of Great Britain and the United Kingdom, but in 1982 it was not England v Argentina. In the same way that 1914-18 and 1939-45 were not England v Germany. The whole of the UK were involved in those wars.
    The EDL, England First, the English National Front etc may try to convince people otherwise, but they hate Britain and the United Kingdom and hence like to falsify history to suit their attitudes.

    World Rugby Statement: Match officials

    The icing on the fooking cake!!
    Just googled the French analysis of Joubert's handling of the 2011 WC Final against NZ.
    I agree with Gavin Hastings, never let him officiate a major match again. Damaged goods.

    Dunno what's in it, but it's pretty tasty, especially after a night on the ale which is in plentiful and varied supply in Cardiff, fine town for a night out

    As Dodgy has pointed out your bitching about having an English ref looks and in fact stinks of sour grapes, it puts your earlier comments in context and just makes the "anything but England" attitude look like a part of your psychology.
    The Scotts have a right to be aggrieved over a bit of dodgy reffing at the end of a storming game.

    2003 - won it. None of the other British & Irish Lions countries can claim that
    2015 - first home team to be knocked out in the group stages. None of the other British & Irish Lions countries can claim that either.


    You must be so proud!
