THE way the England rugby union team won the Rugby World Cup was superb in every way. They made all of England feel a much better place.
They all deserve a very special homecoming and a place of honour, but they should not go to a reception at No 10 Downing Street. I do not want to see Mr Blair and the Labour Government score any political points on the backs of our glorious rugby team.
Mr Blair ordered his Minister of Sport back from Australia to vote and miss supporting our team in Sydney. Labour have done nothing for English sport apart from get in the way. Prince Harry watched England play their games and so it is good that they are to be guests of honour at Buckingham Palace.
