In the sense that any right thinking person would wish the result to be an England win.

Simply because the best side won.

Good try by the Scots tho', well done Guys & better luck at the next WC.

Always a shame when a home team knocks another home team out. (Unless it were a final!)

I can't really see a solution to that. Demanding that home teams are seperated until as late as possible on the basis that we're all (more or less) one country entering 5 teams would seem a bit cheeky.

Five teams?
Are you including the French? Or Italy?

How about Eire & Northern Ireland, Welsh, Scots & English? Do NI have a ugby team? Is Eire a "Home team"?

Oh dear, you are not a rugby fan, are you?

Since international rugby began in the 1880s there has been a single team representing the Irish Rugby Football Union, with players drawn from the the whole island of Ireland.
