Fair enough, but that has nothing to do with players not wanting to wear their losers medals.  Why should we be proud of being the best loser.  Winning mentality is needed.  We performed very well to achieve what we did, but we do not have to be happy about it.

OK comparison point taken re Bronze etc. But if any one had suggested after the 2015 fiasco that England would have been finalists 4 years on-beating All Blacks on the way-would have been ridiculed.
Completely true - but not really relevant.

I think he should use the axe to chop that massive chip off his shoulder.

Maybe this is a more balanced article -
https://www.rugbypass.com/news/go-easy-on-the-england-players-theyre-not-to-first-rwc-team-to-take-off-medals

Exactly! They aren't the first, nor will they be the last to do this. It's just nowadays it's easier to create a fuss over it & it's easier for those who like to bash the English team to jump on the bandwagon.

Nice to see Chris Foy (The Daily Wail's Rugby Correspondent who was actually there last weekend) come back with a decent rebuttal piece.

Careful or you'll be accused of paranoia for suggesting people will use this as a reason to bash England.
