Four years after our p!ss poor showing in South Africa we are pretty back on the plane after just two games and have been shown up for what we are, a mediocre international side.

there is always a sense of disappointment when we go out, but as I also thought we'd struggle to qualify, I cant feel 'upset' about it this time. At least we're not going to go out on pens again
