One reason why Rugby is better than Football.

The players dont whinge and whine and try and con the ref. If they decide to have a go at the ref, he gives a 10 metre penalty.
Whatever happened to that rule in Football? I havnt seen it used for ages, is it still going?

No, because it would have put Manchester United at a disadvantage.

I don't think "we" play as GB any more - doesn't Wales have their own seperate team now? Could be wrong though...

Ish. The GB team still exists (and have a three Test series with NZ coming up), but from next year onwards it'll only be as a touring entity, a bit like the Lions in RU.

At next year's World Cup and ongoing, the home nations will compete separately. Admittedly, Wales, Scotland and Ireland are mostly full of players not good enough for England who are just using the good old 'grandparent rule'....
