Boring Boring England

So the tedious autumn rugby internationals have come to an end for England with 2 losses against Australia and New Zealand and 1 hard fought win against Argentina. A good return for Martin Johnson and his team? The way he was talking up England's performance in his NZ post match interview you would have thought so.

However returns of one try in over 240 minutes of rugby is poor. Plus it makes England dull and boring to watch. With the RFU now charging between £70-£85 for a match day ticket, car parking fees of up to £30, £5 match day programmes, £7.50 for a burger with cheese, £4 for a pint etc...the costs to watch England play rugby at Twickenham are astronomical. Maybe if we were playing free flowing edge of the seat rugby that was a pleasure to watch I would still entertain the thought of parting with this sort of cash but not to watch 80 minutes of England playing ping pong kick ball with the opposition.

On the bright side if England continue to play such soporific rugby then fans will vote with their feet and refuse to pay sky high ticket prices. Then the RFU will be forced to lower their prices. I am a mad rugby fan and I long for the day that England once again entertain the capacity Twickenham crowd with some quality champagne running rugby. I'll be the first in the queue to buy my ticket when this day arrives and I might even buy an overpriced £7.50 burger with cheese!
