This was a great competition for England, a massive boost even if we didn't win - bear in mind that the World Cup starts in November I think the support for England will be immense. 31,000,000 people watched the game, second only to Princess Diana's funeral!
The 'racist ignorami'........this is the same group of twats year in, year out, racism isn't growing, they just refuse to wither and die. The football supporters numbers swelled to 31,000,000, but the numbers of ignorami stayed the same, far more people are willing to stand up and call them out on it.
Rugby is a great game, but I don't believe it is full of saintliness, eye gouging, biting, digital insertion into opponents rectum, all go on, and anyone who has been on a Rugger Tour will know that things happen - my feeling on it though is that if the racists start their shit with a rugby crowd they would end up with a good hiding!
