Hope not for any serious reasons, other than the fact that to look on the down-side is the lot of your average Shrimper...

I think Scriv makes a good point - England don't look such a good team when our first three choices at fly-half are ruled out with injury (Wilkinson, Grayson and Hodgson).

They also look less of a team without probably the two best locks in the world (Johnson and Grewcock).

But losing away from home, by 3 points, to the second best team in the world, doesn't mean England aren't a good team.

At the end of the day I just hope the England rugby team don't emulate the French football team when it comes to defending the world cup.

ps England last weekend won the HK7s for the third consecutive year
