I don't know the first thing about rugby but i was there at Twickenham today with 81,000 others, cheering the Red Roses against the Canadians and taking my cue from people who know more than me and cheering when everyone else cheered and thoroughly enjoying it.
First our ladies won the European Football Championship and now the Rugby ladies have picked up the (Rugby) ball and dropped it behind the line to bring home the World Cup and next week starts the Women's Cricket World Cup so we could yet make it a hat trick.
Much has been made about the morons hanging England flags from lampposts to show their patriotism (in truth it is to intimidate anyone not white English whatever they grunt monosyllabically about it) but it is moments like this which should be held up as what makes us proud and not just the team but the crowd.
I do notice when i go to watch Ladies sports, the atmosphere is just nicer and more sporting, no booing of the Canadian national anthem, no crude hand gestures or screams whenever a player comes to the side and is within earshot of the baying crowd.
Just another reason to my logic that men should be sidelined and women should run everything, just think how much nicer everything would be but anyway, brilliant stuff ladies, it is people like you who make us proud to be English.
