[QUOTE="Klarkash-ton, post: 153711"] that depends on who you're talking to. If you're talking about a English rugby fan then their pain will be evident during the conversation, and they are unlikely to over-use the argument . If you're talking to the average Englishman, then they probably don't know the most recent result unless it was a huge English win, but they'll know they are WORLD CHAMPS. Not much point talking rugby to them anyway, as what will you talk about? I remember watching 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?' and the question was 'who won the 1999 Rugby world cup?' the choices were the Aus, NZ, Eng, SA. The guy didn't know, so he phoned a friend who was a 'sports expert'. This guy emphatically stated 'oh, it was New Zealand, without a doubt.' 'you sure?''yep, 100 percent!' Chris Tarrant looked very sympathetic as he sent the contestant on his way. Of course if you talk to a Saffo they will tell you the world cup doesn't matter and they are the best team no matter what the most recent result is, so actually having the WC again won't really make that much difference. But that is the right attitude for a fan anyway [/QUOTE]
