RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011

Well expectations were high(ish), we had come through the Pools and into the Quarter Final.  We had France who had taking a kicking, omens were not looking good and sure enough we got what we deserved.  Much more going on but you would not think so as England were on their way home after a torrid time both on and off the field.    You could be sure there would be more to come and a lot of dirty linen to be hung out.

Well here we go again.......... up early, set the alarm clock, bacon butties if you are lucky and no doubt another nerve racking couple of hours watching England Rugby  Elite play.  England v France RWC Quarter Final Pre Match Thoughts  and England Rugby World Cup - It's all over now..... just the inquest to follow!   England v France RWC 2011 Quarter Final Post Match Thoughts
