Baggy, I know your hurting from a Tory landslide , but put the rugby hat on, and come out to play. I know you will be sitting in your baggy boxers, tin in your hand , watching some hardcore rugger. You know it makes sense , look on the bright side a bus of Tory MPs will get wiped out on the M6 on their freebie jaunt to England/Uruguay game, forcing an election

England players against overseas inclusion for World Cup

England internationals would oppose the inclusion of overseas-based players for the World Cup, BBC Sport understands.
Under Rugby Football Union rules, only players playing in the domestic leagues can represent England, unless there are "exceptional circumstances".
BBC rugby correspondent Ian Robertson said current squad members he had spoken to would be "outraged" if expats were made eligible for selection.
"The players don't want outsiders to come in," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
Clermont's former Bath full-back Nick Abendanon was named European Player of the Year for this season, while Toulon flanker Steffon Armitage picked up the award in 2014.

Nick Abendanon left Premiership side Bath to join Clermont last summer
Both have been mooted as potential inclusions in Stuart Lancaster's England squad, as the exceptional circumstances clause could apply to this summer's home World Cup.
"Strictly on merit they would be good enough to be in the England squad," Robertson said of Abendanon and Armitage, who have two and five international caps respectively.
"But the players I've spoken to are unanimous that it would disrupt the squad enormously, that they would have had a free ride, taken the big money abroad and come in for the glory of the World Cup.
"And, of course, this also would affect Stuart Lancaster and his coaching team.
"I'm certain they're of exactly the same view that they have a tight squad, they've worked together non-stop for the last three years building up to the World Cup and it would be exceptionally unusual for somebody like Lancaster to want to bring in people from outside."

Reasons to hate England:

- The have misappropriated the Victoria Cross, per head of population, no country has won more VCs than Irishmen, yet Lancaster a coach named after a bomber my father worked on, decided it is English and it now is heavily loaded to the top of England shirts. I just find that offensive.

- They are almost all rightwingscum whether of high or low birth, manipulated by the Mail & Sun, who once again changed the course of an election.

- The claim Foreign clubs, i.e. jonnywilksinson'stoulon.

- They ruined the Heineken cup & have produced a charmless plastic copy

- Craig, Wray, Griffiths, McTwattery et al. Frankly I hope they lose heavily on their home cabbage patch.

That's the latest RWC news from me pending confirmation from Kofi that he will have the entire cabinet wiped out on the M6.

Yip, Jiffy's one-eyed commentaries are the stuff of legend, worth 6 points to Wales every time.
