Why does everyone love having a pop at merry olde England?

Stuart Lancaster's England are back on the training ground this morning after a Sunday of licking their wounds and avoiding as many forms of media as possible. The World Cup hosts are facing up to the very real prospect of exiting at the pool stages after their 28-25 loss to Wales, at Twickenham. While England were fuming - with themselves, mainly - after their defeat, the rest of the world seemed to revel in their failure. All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu told press, on Sunday, that he and his teammates had been keep awake during their stay on the outskirts of Cardiff the night before. "We didn't mind at all," a broadly grinning Mealamu remarked. The press caught up with a couple of French players, on Sunday, too and gauged their reaction to England falling short. https://twitter.com/gavinmortimer7/status/648383743758102528 https://twitter.com/gavinmortimer7/status/648384409624801280 Former Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll was another who couldn't resist a sly dig. https://instagram.com/p/8H4MmfLG27/?taken-by=13rianodriscoll
