I cannot remember seeing a purple stripe running through the Cross of St. George.
From the Guardian:
“But the pre-match marketing stunt of getting the spectators to hold up coloured cards, revealing a Nike swoosh in white at both ends against a purple background, was nauseating enough to make what followed look almost acceptable” (ie the game).
The RFU has neatly entered the realm of total money grabbing; sitting nicely beside the premiership football clubs and their international corrupt owners, and the England cricket establishment.
For the record, I could only manage to watch the first half of the Argentina game before I had to turn over to watch some rugby.
