Most English players refused to wear theirs silver medals

Sulky stuff ????

 

Enjoyed Eddie Jones

What a coach and character. He spoke in the press conference about how many beers he’s going to have tomorrow and the next day. ????

 

Incredible showcase by The Land Of The Rising Sun. What hosts. Incredible. ????????

 

The Bokkies are World Champs in 2019 after not even securing a sponsor in early 2018 (remember the brandless Springbok jersey) ????

That's really disrespectful of them.

That one twat did not even let the guy put it on for him. I don’t know much about the english but they seem to bad losers, the restaurant was packed with them and before the game was over it was just us.

Storm in a teacup I would say... Rugby is not the Olympics where you compete for a medal, only the cup matters.

I hear you, but I still think one should accept the silver medal with dignity (it is Japan after all, the land that invented it), smile, thank the incredibly polite hosts, congratulate the winner, go home and THEN throw the bloody thing in a drawer with all your cycling medals where you never have to look at it for the rest of your life. :whistling:

Pub I was in the English supporters were superb. All of said well done and many of them got a round in after the game.

 

So I ended up spending the whole day in the pub.

I think they did most of that, some of them just didn't want the medal around their necks, maybe wrong but I don't agree with the outrage.

 

I also see Bojo is getting big criticism in Britain for appearing on tv with an English jersey to wish the England team well. Certainly not a bojo fan but I don't get it

 

So much outrage about insignificant trivialities.

:D  True that. In rugby and in life. I suppose it will only end with the destruction of the internet. ;)

It's because his tweet looked like an afterthought. Rugby Jersey over a dress shirt. 66th minute when the game was pretty much done. Here is the tweet... Do yourself a favor and read the comments.. They are priceless... My favourites..." Your TV is leaning a bit to the right" and "why is your TV cabinet dressed like Heidi"
