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

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.

Played Won Lost Drawn Pctg
124 41 66 17 33.06
