Pride of England
The rugby world cup has ended with England loosing out in the final to South Africa. Nine points was all that separated the two sides and in the end the South Africans, the stronger side deserved their win. They played magnificently throughout the tournament. All observers of the game whichever side they supported could quite clearly say that the Antipodeons were worthy victors of the Web Ellis Cup.
However, England should also look back with pride. Unlike the national football team, the rugby side never capitulated after the loss in the first match in the group stages to the South Africans as well. Since that match they have responded magnificently taking on the world cup with a gusto and perseverance that shocked the rest of the partakers of this competition. England before the tournament were written off as a weak side past their prime and after that first match, anyone who had said that they would reach the final would have been scoffed at. But it shows a remarkable amount of faith in the strength of character of the England squad that they never once looked for an easy way out nor did they look for excuses. Instead they worked together as a team. They proved to the world their strength of character and refused to give in until the final whistle. And for some reason they are paid an awful lot less than the football side. On a positive note.Dave has completely redesigned the laser hair removal part
