Argentina all over again.

I thought England rallied quite well.

At least the result was right.

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

Oh dear, I've just realised I must be a left thinker.

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.

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.
