They’re motivated mainly in life by a dislike of the English. Pathetic, creepy and sad. I still like them though, the cheeky scamps.
Funding them is starting to wear a little thin though.
It seems that way, sad but quite funny. Was with a load of Irish fans last weekend, a marked difference. Still, that’s what happens when you rely on London to keep your proud nation afloat Funding them is starting to wear a little thin though.

Today’s game has got me thinking about the Lions in two years....pretty much my last “must do” sporting event is to see a Lions test and South Africa is a hell of a lot easier to do than NZ or Oz.
1st Test in Durban in 2009 is my most memorable sporting event ever - the big bar area outside the ground before the game was something to behold, and the atmosphere in the ground (from both teams) was awe-inspiring.Will definitely be organising a trip to see some matches with friends in 2021.

Watering them and feeding them power is starting to grate though. Perhaps someone should start a campaign for English independence. I'd certainly support it.

For a start, none of Scotland, Ireland, or wales came back from Japan with a cup either. Secondly, if the Englishman walked into Starbucks, they'd soon sort him out with a cup, and even write his name on it. So I'm baffled as to why this is remotely amusing. And I'm Welsh, so if I played to stereotype, I'd be in clover laughing at any joke that even attempts to have a dig at England and England Rugby fans...

It’s amusing as throughout the thread it appears the most vocal have been certain Welsh supporters? I personally enjoyed the tournament and all the games. The fact the Welsh got hammered into 4th was just gravy Watering them and feeding them power is starting to grate though. Perhaps someone should start a campaign for English independence.

As for independence, yeah, right. Very bitter aren’t you old chap?

Define how Wales were hammered in any game in the WC and compare with today.As for independence, yeah, right. Very bitter aren’t you old chap?

Plus no-one of sane mind drinks Starbucks’ burned tasting coffee 
I bought a giant "bucket" of an Americano in Starbucks (I think) in Waterloo station once, in the desperate hope that I'd stay awake to reach my stop on the last train of the night. I stayed awake alright, but it was less to do with the caffeine and more the raging gut-rot brought on by the coffee. Never again!

Sinckler was brilliant throughout the tournament and gave everything. It’s horrible how his tournament ended and I find that “joke” extremely distasteful.
Agreed. Not withstanding an attempt to make fun of a disabled child and some kind of dig at HIA protocols presumably. All in all an epic fail. Well done. Happy now?king pathetic attempt at a joke.Sinckler was brilliant throughout the tournament and gave everything. It’s horrible how his tournament ended and I find that “joke” extremely distasteful.

I take no joy from England losing, had they been playing any other non home nation side I'd have been cheering them on, but boks have always been my 'second' team after Scotland. I have always liked their old school do the basics and be stronger than everyone else approach. Not every Celt is anti English.

As for the rugby - my feelings are quite clear when I've interacted with decent fans online and in person.
Such a disappointing end to a great campaign
Not long from the start it was clear that something wasn't right and it wasn't going to be the same as last week
The best team definitely won. Very bitter pill to swallow getting so close with a 4 year wait to make amends - and no guarantee that we will do as well next time anyway

You're in a good place. Huge player base. Need to develop a bit more depth at 3, 9 and 15 but deep squad otherwise. Not long from the start it was clear that something wasn't right and it wasn't going to be the same as last week

We're not in as bad a position as Scotland wherein one key injury leaves you fked, but we c/should be better. We (currently) seem to have an embarrassment of riches at wing and 2nd row together with some decent options at 6/7/2 but if, for example BV and Wilson can't play who is world class there? If MT is out who is our world beating centre?NZ has (had?) the right idea with a steady drip feed so suddenly you've got a lot of options - though to be fair this time that didn't quite happen
