Don't forget Scotland losing.
It's nearly as good as England winning.

See, they lost to the French, so that's a bad thing.
There is a very clear heirachy to how the six nations ought to finish each year and it goes:

England
Italy
Ireland
Scotland
France
Wales

with the above you can work out exactly who you should be supporting in any given match.

Even next Sunday I won't be sad if Ireland win because they will be beating the French and it's englands fault for losing to les bleu that we wouldn't win the cup.

I get irritated watching Italy's plucky shitness.
It reflects on them as a nation that they are not organised or manly enough to play rugby well.

When it comes to the world cup I have a soft spot for the pacific island nations
and other matches are judged on the quality of the beards present. Canada had some fucking superb ones last world cup.

They can play rugby well sometimes.
They beat France a couple of years ago, actually it may have been last year. Yes it was, I remember upsetting my daughter by shouting when the whistle went.

It was last year. They may have won two or three last year.
When they win I am only pleased for them because they have shown how shit or lazy the opposition is. More revelling in the defeat than the victory.

I read somewhere about the idea of having a two tier "nations" event with promotion and demotion available between them
which sounds like a great idea. I would love to give Georgia and Portugal and possibly even Argentina (as most of their internationals play in the northern hemisphere) the chance to get some top flight international rugby under their belts on a more regular basis than just waiting for the world cup

Argentina are now part of what was the Tri Nations.

Oh have they?
Never mind. Argentina are the southern hemispheres Italy.

Yeah they are the whipping boys of the "Rugby Championship".
