Can't think of one off the top of my head, you're probably right.

Closest would be Eddie Jones assisting with SA in 2007 but that's obviously not the top job.

Done my bandwagoning for the year.

I won 2900 baht yesterday on the rugby sweepstake so wasn't all bad.

The tickets I pulled out of the hat were England to win by 32-35 points and South Africa to win by 19-22 points which I'd initially chucked on the floor in disgust

England Rugby team reveal they deliberately lost Rugby World Cup to avoid 10 Downing Street photo op



SOME THINGS JUST AREN’T WORTH THE SHAME : England’s unsuccessful Rugby World Cup squad have revealed the secret behind their lack of success, after failing to allow South Africa to lose the final in Japan.

“It’s all the fault of shit-Midas Boris Johnson,” a team insider revealed exclusively to LCD Views, “we could have won, but you know what that would have meant, don’t you?”

I think BoJo " Spunkball " Shagger offered the scrum a shagfest with his septic slapper Arcuri as a prize for winning.

No wonder they lost steam.

Sloppy seconds after she'd been rifled by dirty Boris, I mean, who would?

You are suggesting that you should be the one to lick Boris clean post coitus, instead of that other lovely public schoolboy Kyle Sinckler. Have at it big man.

Crikey the social medias are going off at the English players for not wearing their medals.

By the way has anyone heard from Betty? Worried he might've overdosed on coffee somewhere!

He's scouring the rubbish bins near the stadium for second-place medals and used coffee grinds.

With their win yesterday SA also take the #1 ranking (England fall to #3 behind NZ)

I think runners up medals will appear on EBay shortly. Just a feeling I have.

On the other end of that scale...

Pretty classy from whoever runs the ABs social media accounts, spot on too:

Nonsense.

All a fuss over nothing, and no slight against anything or anyone.

Yea, except sportsmanship . . . but that doesn't count.

Sportsmanship is connected to what one chooses to wear or not wear?

Like I said...twitterati generated nonsense.

Your choice to decide if it is or isn't . . . most would suggest that not wearing the medal while SA got theirs is bad form

"Itoje point-blank refused to have the medal placed around his neck after shaking Beaumont's hand."

Except it's not, is it. It's people here, people at work etc...

English teams are usually quite sportsmanlike in their defeats (perhaps because they lose so often), but this wasn't one of those times.

I can just imagine if the reverse had been the case, the Poms would have a field-day with that
