Well, we might have been stuffed at the rugby but I do think it’s time to consider a few old tribal tactics (even if contrived) to put the wind up Johnny Foreigner at future international rugby curtain raisers.

The Welsh were robbed but they do have a cracking National Anthem. The English team effort was so painful they desperately need to consider something pretty gripping to shake up the opposition – Haka style – and to upstage such a luke warm English National Anthem – which, let’s face it, really wouldn’t put the wind up a flag.

So I thought a display of Traditional Cornish pasty making would crack it. You know, really getting aggressive with the hand gestures around the pastry edge curling. Then throwing flour into the air with wild abandon, crouching with a rolling pin and a chant something like:

Oooo ‘ere watcha, Oooo ‘ere watcha,
‘ere my ‘andsome, ‘ere my ‘andsome,
Loads o’ swede and loads of onion,
bit-of-skirt-beef and short crus’ pastry
You won’t play with this inside ya’….


Etc
