That's right Greegan... He is a good player, just a bit of a cock as well. Now you have to like england, at least post world cup, for any number of reasons:
1. Johnny Wilkinson's drop goal was orgasmic (repeated over and over in slow mo)
2. Their captain (forgetting his name now) looks like a beat miner, and just held a very tearfilled press conference to resign (aww)
3. but most importantly, Taking the victory out of the big three (Aussie, NZ, RSA) and placing it in europe could do big things for rugby worldwide. Hopefully this will help boost popularity worldwide (especially in the US) but maybe not.
One arguement for why it wont matter is that in England football is the layman's game and rugby is the higher class sport (not yet up to cricket level though), and that'll never change because the lower classes grow up watching and playing football and only prep school kids play rugby. Case in point is the two England stars for football and rugby:
David Beckham: didnt make it through high school
Johnny Wilkinson: went to Cambridge
