[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 647940, member: 12190"] This isn't really a case of apples and oranges to be honest. Yes, we've fought against each other but much more recently we've fought together.. We've done similarly with the New Zealanders and Australians. I don't really think that the sporting animosity between England and other nations can be explained by anything real that has happened recently, except in the case of Ireland. If you look at the home nations culturally they're also extremely similar -when compared with rest of world that is. I might be wrong but I don't think the Scottish hate the English - except within sport that is. And rugby more than other sports. Its strange. [/QUOTE]
