[QUOTE="jamiet1978, post: 757098, member: 73300"] Many thanks for your replies, you are all in similar agreement on the points. The specifics of each point are clear, but to put it into another context- the pre tournament hype on Englands prospects are are rather similar to Englands prospects in football. Only in Football there have been many more tournaments where England have failed expectation (World Cup and Euro), the fans are rather used to it. One might be not too far wrong if they said that England dont do well under pressure in both Rugby and Football. They are great in qualification but when it really matters, they dont deliver against the big teams. England 4th favourites to win Euro 2016- get your bets on:D j [/QUOTE]
