I dunno, this could actually be true. It could show the England team that the RFU have total belief they can lift the Webb Ellis once again!:D
 
It makes sense.

If England don't reach the semis, then the players get no bonuses and the RFU is £250k out of pocket on a lost bet.

If England do make the semis, then the RFU has to pay out £2m+ to the players and staff in bonuses. So they'll be a considerable amount out of pocket. But they'll have won their bet and made it all back.

Basically, they know they'll lose money either way, but 250k is a drop in the ocean compared to 2m+
