[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1130626, member: 59968"] I don’t think that fits at all TBH. A lot of the dislike for England as a rugby nation is mostly driven by historical, non-rugby elements rather than anything the players have been doing recently. Sure, the irritating Saracens style shouting and clapping has unfortunately spilled over in to the England team, but I really don’t think that’s a big part of why other teams don’t like us. At points in time the ‘arrogance’ tag might have been more warranted, but not in a good while IMO and in any case, a lot of that is driven by the expectant attitude of ‘fans’ than the players themselves.
