Mate, where on earth do you get that from??

The real evidence of the past decade or so is that England are probably ranked about 5 in the world. English regional teams don't dominate the Heineken Cup either.

Just because they are a bigger country, with more players and more money doesn't mean that should be automatically assumed to beat countries who have better youth systems, better coaches and for whom rugby is much more in the national DNA than England.

It's a little bit arrogant to assume that, I would have thought?

No wonder their media and their own fans are turning on the team now
