redfiona99It's most amusing 'cause this week both the England Rugby Union side and the Great Britain Rugby League side have got internationals against New Zealand.
In the Union, I'm cheering for New Zealand
In the League, I cheering for GB.
But that's because everyone hates the English RU side. The NZ players have been saying it in the build up, that everyone they've seen from Australia to Ireland has said, go on, beat the bloody English.
The NZ players say that it's because the English RU side are such bad winners.
So you've got these very southern reports going, 'but why, we're not that bad.'
And everyone else going, 'oh yes you are.'
