What on earth is going on in this world.
The RFU is changing the A team name from Saxons back to A team, because it might offend someone. Who? the Picts, Danes, Normans?
And they are distancing themselves from the England anthem, Swing Low. I really don’t understand this. It’s an anti-slavery hymn. Who on earth in these days would be offended by this.
Barbary and Caribbean pirates?

In the thread in the link below, I used the pronoun "He" to describe the person in the Daily Mail story, and was told by the AB Editor no less, ""She", Deskdiary - it's really not difficult."
So to all intents and purposes, being told how to think.

More likely the players who might aspire to, or do, play for the side who aren't of Anglo-Saxon heritage. "English", yes, "Saxon", no. Saxons is exclusive whereas England A is not.

Than you folks. we are an immigrant nation. 14000ish years ago we were under 3 km of ice and uninhabited. Since then as the ice melted, peoples have established settlements in Britain and Ireland. I don't follow RFU's removal of the Saxon title. Should Scotland FA ask Celtic to change their name. The Scots are no more Celtic then the English, Welsh or Irish. What is the RFU reason and who was upset?
