The RFU got a post Halloween fright today when they realised that the Rugby World Cup went on after England's group stage exit, culminating in someone actually winning it.



‘I woke up on Monday morning in a cold sweat convinced I had left the lights on in my car or something,’ said organising Chairman Brian Yeoman. ‘I went downstairs, checked the car, then the back gate and few other things but still had that nagging doubt that I'd forgotten something. Then it hit me, I left the Rugby World Cup on and completely forgot about it!’
