England “greatness” remains on hold…
And so the RFU has admitted defeat in its attempts to host an England vs New Zealand match at Twickenham this November. Apparently the NZRU would rather play the Barbarians.
This, despite the RFU publicly (and rather unhelpfully) announcing its desire for such a fixture last week, a matter of days before England’s biggest game for years (which they subsequently lost, of course) against Ireland.
Not that Ireland needed any additional motivation, but to be almost dismissed as serious opposition to England’s impending “greatness” – as the English seemingly looked ahead to facing supposedly bigger and better opposition – must, I imagine, have made victory even sweeter for the Irish players.
For the fixture against the All Blacks then not to happen is a cock-up of fairly gargantuan proportions but, given the record of the muppets at HQ, hardly a major surprise.
And we wonder why we are labelled arrogant…
