What could've happened....
The Guardian's Barney Ronay provides a fictional take on what could have happened following the England team's night out in Queenstown.
"1 min: Hello and welcome to exclusively typed, live-blog coverage of the England rugby squad's daily World Cup meeting in the luxurious Larsen-Snedden Business Centre at the majestic Hotel Conchord, New Zealand's fourth most splendid hotel/conference complex.
2 min: It has been an unusually turbulent 24 hours for England's players, even by the standards of what is an unusually turbulent, slow-burn, listless, embattled,fatally undermined, terminally self-torpedoing, shakily hurled together, disastrously inharmonious, macrocosmically doomed World Cup campaign. Or at least that's what it looks like so far, a mere six days in. No doubt everything will be fine from here and England will go on to win the World Cup with a scintillating exhibition of sustained running rugby so thrilling they're gripped by the urge to hurl themselves into Auckland harbour in celebration on the way home. Something along those lines anyway."
