I've just seen England lose the Cup Final
To the clear favourites, South Africa
I knew it wasn't our night, the signal
Being the disallowed try. Superior
The Springboks may have been, the line-out a
Triumphant force, Montgomery's kicking
Powerful, accurate, a rapier
Thrust into the white shirt, red rose bleeding
But talking positive, we are breeding
Some good players. Tait was great above all
And Jonny Wilkinson's still got a year
Or four in him, so, for now, keep singing
Swing low, sweet chariot. Carry the ball
With pride. You tried but you're not the victor
