blimey Owd_Bert that's a sweeping statement.

obviously no-one would compare a sportsman to a soldier who served his country, but in my eyes the Rugby Team are heroes.

we are talking about a squad of 30 men, who have given their all (and then some) over the course of 4 years (not just a tournament) to become the best in the world.

simply put,  30 men from our homeland are the best in the world. They had a tremendous amount of pressure and a high degree of flak from the worlds media but remained focus on their aim and goal of winning the world cup.

And they are the ONLY team in our nations history to win a Major World Cup on foreign soil.

They get my vote as heroes.
