England return to chaos

Writing in the Guardian, Rob Kitson examines the in-fighting and chaos within the Rugby Football Union.

"The Rugby Football Union is not exactly unfamiliar with a ruck. In its 140 years of existence there have been endless arguments, most of them dull enough to stupefy even the keenest old fart. Ever since 1895, when 20 clubs from Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cheshire broke away and established what is now the Rugby Football League, few sporting bodies have matched it for internal feuding and chicanery, occasionally interrupted by lengthy breaks for lunch."
