So, the English rugby team have reached the semi-final of the rugby World Cup - and yet nobody seems to give a shit.

If it was football, the press would be all over it like a rash, there would be flags and feck knows what else being waved about.

The newspapers would have a picture of beckham, and uri geller (or however the feck you pronounce it) would be telling you to rub his balls tomorrow.

So I dont understand, why is it I walk down my road and I dont see a single England flag?

This is England in the semi-finals of a world cup ffs!!

Because it's Rugby not Football, like you said.

I have an antidote if you are interested?

Mainly because we were so shocking in the early stages getting to the semi has taken everyone by surprise.

People will only care if they reach the final, like last time.

There's a rugby world cup going on?

Maybe because the england rugby team is followed by rugby fans and general sport fans, and the england football team is followed by every bandwagon jumping, flagwaving **** around?

Wasn't it only really given coverage in the papers once England had won the world cup last time round ? Probably the same again this time.
