Same happened when our cricket team was on tour.

We are just a nation of pi$$heads who get ourselves into dangerous situations.

So union now is the new football after all!

Put them on the next slave ship to the colonies.

Penalty to NZ after 45 seconds. 3-0.

New Zealand 44-12 England

Party time at the Hilton for the lads

Don't bring them back. They are a disgrace. And a joke. Johnson out.

Rob Andrew needs his ar$e slapping after his poor performance at "running" the tour.

If ever a team on the field reflected its management then it was England in New Zealand. Devoid of ideas beyond hoof it and chase, poor in defence and negative in all facets of the game.

Yup.

Incidentally, [url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1331738.eceThe Sun names, pictures and shames the four[/url caught up in the sex row.

Andrew was the most overrated player of any generation. He had no heart, no inventiveness, no pace; all he could do was kick. Everything that typified England yawnion of that period & led me to detest watching a game I grew up playing at school. Long may he remain in charge of elite (sic) yawnion.

Just wait til Johnson gets hold of them, it'll go from 10 man rugby to 8 man rugby - you might as well pick back rowers on the wings and centres as they'll never see the ball.

I've never heard of any of them. Surely Topsy cannot be his first name can it ?

It is indeed.

Danny Care scored on his first Test start on Saturday.

He came on as a substitute making his debut in the first game.

Strettle has played a few times for England, and Ojo made his debut in the first Test IIRC, scoring once or twice.

Turvey is his middle name

That's quite good

You can just end the sentence there.

What's the point of having them in the Saxons, which is supposed to be about developing players for the next level?

No idea, it does seem a strange decision. But it obviously suggests that Johnson still has a place for them if he is willing to give them a chance in the Saxons.

Cipriani is in the Saxons squad due to his injury, meaning that once again, England have a squad with only one specialist 10...Wilkinson.

Hodgson is dropped all together.

I have a feeling Hodgson will force his way back in through outstanding performances for Sale and due to the fact that no-one is outstanding.
He has defensive weaknesses but so do most stand offs.

Cipriani, before his injury, was outstanding. England have missed him since he got injured.

I see Tindall has requested a "special circumstances" hearing on his drink driving charge.

What's the betting they wheel out some medical expert to testify that his damaged liver gave a false reading.

Don't know why he's bothering really, he could just get his bit of fluff's Gran to sort it, surely?

He'll get off it no doubt.

He'll escape a ban as it will inerfere with his 'charidy work'. A la useless Welsh tosspot also going out with a princess.
