habsfannova Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Because they are seperate countries WITHIN the United Kingdom. Wales also competes by itself.Hint: NEVER call a Scotsman an Englishman. Ya just don't wanna go there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 An interesting thing with Rugby is that the Ireland team is a team from the whole of Ireland, North and South. Essentially I guess it is a historic thing with the UK countries. The first international games in a lot of sports (Soccer, Rugby etc) were England v Scotland matches. Although the countries do come together, for instance to play as the British Isles at Rugby, and Great Britian at the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
