England has won the rugby World Cup, defeating Australia. That sour contrarian Andrew Stuttaford dug up a story wherein Jacques Chirac found a way to celebrate the victory:
This deserved victory is also a victory for Europe. Thanks to the extraordinary talent of the English players, the World Cup is coming to the northern hemisphere for the first time. All lovers of rugby in France and in Europe share the joy of the English fans.
Uh huh. Quit trying to elbow in---from what I understand, the men of England sent Team Metrosexual packing. Anyways, the final game seems to have been a close one, and I'm happy that England won, although I wish it hadn't been at the expense of Australia.
