"I don't think the English public care very much."

Nope I don't. Couldn't care less about RU. Didn't even bother watching the final a few years back.

I used to watch the internationals, but started losing interest after everything went full-time in 1995.

On the subject of footie, it always amazes me how the English assume that a game against a small country should be a walkover, field a weak side, then wonder why they didn't win.

When did England last do this? I cannot remember...

Well that excuse may work for you, and I dont mean to brag but it would never work with my misses - cough

Oh yes it does (cough) ...

No snaw, that's not my definition - I said size means nothing.

Newsflash - NZ's national sport is rugby, Scotland's is football - I suspect more kiwi's play football than Scots play rugby.

Either way what's your point - England's is over 12 times bigger by your definition - how many times you beat them?

And rugby isn't England's national sport either, but nevertheless, we've still managed to win the world cup as many times as New Zealand.

That means nothing. If it did New Zealand would be crap as well!

...and as New Zealand's population is even smaller than Scotland, remind me how many times the Scots have beaten them in their 25-match history - that's right - never!

Chr£$%, I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978

Scotland vs England:

Played Won Lost Drawn Pctg
124 41 66 17 33.06

I wouldn't call that a walkover. In fact on population % we're ahead

I think you will find that when we actually play Scotland it is a walkover

HTH

I've said elsewhere that when England win something, we spend the next year celebrating and let everything slip back to tulipeness. The world cup 1966, the Ashes 2005...

I can't speak for the Scots as it hasn't been put to the test up there yet...
