Pom ingrates!

Well, weren't those Poms cocky after we gave them the World Cup rugby crown? No gracious comments from the thugs from Up Over, just gloating and putdowns from coach Deadwood and his players. That's five in a row now! You lads were shite! Etc, etc etc.
It was all pretty rich stuff from a nation that hasn't won anything since Trafalgar, especially when everyone knows we gave it to them just so they'll keep playing international sport with us.
The Aussie cricketers do it before every Ashes series: nominate a Test to lose, often a dead rubber, just to cheer up the guys from Old Blighty who invented the game.
Heck, a few Ashes tours ago in the Old Dart, the boys nominated the first Test as the gimme. And didn't the Poms get cocky after that. We had to crush them over the rest of the series just to make a point and put them in their place.
The Bug doesn't agree with the similar decision in the rugger, but with the Poms threatening not to turn up in France four years hence, the powers-that-be in Aussie rugby made the decision to cede the game to England. And that's the only reason a reluctant Mat Rogers put in such a poor clearing kick right at the end, so Jonny Wilkinson could pot that field goal to win the Cup in the most ungentlemanly of manners.
Because of the way the Poms have carried on - although we suppose they can be excused for not knowing how to behave after winning anything - we'll reprint here some Sunday sports splashes we'd have liked to have seen recently, with a few cricket ones tossed in for good measure.
