Roland Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Who can hold England? :-/ Just look at the grand slam and triple crowns these girls have won! Regardless of what home country you are from, the English women surely deserve a slap on the back at least! And to think the currant side, like our English 'World Champion' cricket team, is so very very young. But isn't the real shame that women don't ever seem to get the same publicity for the same feat as the men :-/ [edit] Champions, Grand Slams, and Triple Crowns Champions: England 10; France 3; Scotland 1 Grand Slams: England 9; France 3; Scotland 1 Triple Crowns: England 14; Scotland 1; Wales 1 Home International Championship 1996 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 1997 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 1998 - Scotland (triple crown & grand slam) Five Nations 1999 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2000 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2001 - England (triple crown & grand slam) Six Nations 2002 - France (grand slam); England (triple crown) 2003 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2004 - France (grand slam); England (triple crown) 2005 - France (grand slam); England (triple crown) 2006 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2007 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2008 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2009 - England (champions); Wales (triple crown)
Guest G.Drysdale + son Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I must be watching different sports programmes than you mate up in Scotland we never hear the end of English triumphs.When it's a Scottish sports person they are British if they succeed but Scottish if they fail.Take this saturday Scotland are playing a World cup qualifier yet Sky sports news most of it is about Englands build up to a friendly and Talk sport are having a special programme after the england friendly.
Merlin Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 It appears that Englishwomen are better than their male counterparts at the Rugby.!?

An ole lame duck that has been laid to rest yonks ago is the A brit when wins etc. :( Seems some still find solace in such .... shame really. Guess like the last BBC Personality was a Scot, and VOTE for in the VAST main by the English. Like ALL scots / Welsh / Irish, they are ALL given credit for the birth rights, imaginary or real! maybe the Scottish comentator's are different etc. But down here as any from the Home nations abiding down here will tell you. Sad mucker, so sad! :(
