It's no disgrace for England to lose to South Africa, a very fine team without doubt.

...but, as I say, Dave, what IS a disgrace is the way modern English are so content to get wallets out and employ mercenaries to compete for us.

Hi Davw,

I agree...England lost to a much better team. South Africa had too much fire power for what is a good England side.

Cheers

Mike

I imagine the main thing Eddie Jones cares about after losing the #rugbyworldcup2019 is his market value going down a bit; &, if Alf Ramsey came out of the grave, he'd probably paraphrase Enoch Powell & say modern English have gone mad with such mercenaries.

But Alf won't rise from the grave,
and you might imagine any words you like,
but you can't shoehorn them into the mouth of any corpses to suit your own ideological delusions...

Yes.. that Enoch Powell.. very fondly remembered by the folks who were fond of him...

Thinking that foreign mercenaries should NOT be employed to compete for us is NOT delusion, PFR.

Walkie - I actually agree that there are not sufficient English born footballers being nurtured
to premier league and world level...

Same applies, perhaps to a lesser extent, to Rugby [this thread's topic btw..]

But it's the 'keep foreigners out' strand of your 'beliefs'
that is a boring imposition on the threads you pick on contributing to,
That is what I'll pull you up on in as good humoured and amicable a way as I can...

'keep foreigners out' strand (PFR)...I would NOT keep genuine asylum seekers for which England is their nearest safe country out, nor would I prevent them playing sport at any level.

Having the United Nations make all economic/CAPITALIST immigration illegal would also be "nice" for humanity, Steve; it's our world/our UN that should be multicultural - NOT each nation NOT England - i.e., "Nationalism Without Conquest" and Liverpool F.C. with Scousers and England National Rugby Union Team with English.

Walkie - it's a bloody good job neither you or me
have any influence, power, and authority in the real world...

I also have crackpot theories which if they could be implemented
would lead to severe restictions on activities and folks
that get on my nerves...

Now if only I could convince our government to build the necessary internment and re-education camps...

.. then the anti social git will think twice about letting his dog crap outside our back gate...

Walkie, do your ideas also extend to uniformed snatch squads bundling undesirable folks
into the back of vans,
never for them to be heard of again...???


Anyway back on topic, talking about the rugby world cup,
where the next one to be held, and what time zone will it be in...???

And back off-topic again:
uniformed snatch squads
Is this down to hair-styling, or 'vajazzling'?

Nigel - in my equivalent to walkie's bonkers utopia,
anyone caught tampering with natural grown pubes will get interned for 're-education'...

Bring back the 1970s...

"Walkie - it's a bloody good job neither you or me
have any influence, power, and authority in the real world..." (PFR)...I wish it was a few hundred million, but at least a few hundred thousand have read at least some of my verses - not too bad for a part-time amateur; and I keep trying because I think my way IS the best way forward for humanity, and certainly not the bonkers utopia of a crackpot!!

"but at least a few hundred thousand have read at least some of my verses"

..and looking at populist social media, we can guess the likely demographic of your readers...???

Nowt so wrong with friedly national rivalry when it comes to sport,
like for instance a rugby world cup,

But so much is suspect about nationalist internet 'influencers'
and their followers,
when international sporting events are abused as a vehicle for spreading dodgy propaganda...
