World Rejoice: England’s Randy Bores Are Out Of The Rugby World Cup

by | 9th, October 2011

ENGLAND are out of the rugby World Cup. Good. They behaved like an oafish, belligerent, spoilt, cheating, cosseted, embarrassing bunch of cocky, misogynistic, arrogant pillocks from first to last. Good they’ve been defeated by the fighting French. The team gave lie to the legend that rugby players are not like footballers, being made of nobler and more stoic stuff. Still, at least the Somoan boy in the team tried hard.

What we need is some lighthearted relief. Here’s Stephen Jones in the Times:

“And so France went in leading 16-0, and this after Dimitri Yachvili, who played immaculately, missed three shots at goal.”

Immaculate? Well, compared to the ugly mess called England, he might well have looked immaculate…
