Would ireland ever live this rugby video gaff down. if it was ireland making a video celebrating a victory before they had won it. to do so would mean ireland showing total disrespect for the opposition. this england rugby video is a grand slam of a mistake ROFL it is so funny. new zealand and australia are going to have their england rugby jokes ready for the world cup.
this video will prove to be a very big mistake for england, every team now will remember how arrogant making this grand slam video was. martin johnson should have said no to nike. there is no excuse.
england made a video of them celebrating winning a grand slam in the 6 nations rugby. before . they played ireland in the last match. in rugby 6 nations you win the grand slam if you beat all 5 other national rugby teams. england had beaten four and only had ireland to beat for a grand slam. but they could not wait to make a video showing what grand slam champions they were.
they spent money making this video before they played ireland, how is that for a sporting arrogant confidence. we all need a bit of that in sport , but what england did was way too far.
what happened in englands final rugby match.
ireland absolutely hammered them, england were lucky the score was only 24 -8 to ireland. brian o'driscoll and another irish player had a try disallowed. 5 of england points were a gift, came from a rare irish mistake.

England have been embarrassed after a video celebrating a Grand Slam victory which never happened was leaked on the internet.
Martin Johnson's men were favourites to land a first RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam since 2003 but they were routed 24-8 by Ireland at Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
The video, which showed members of the England team celebrating Grand Slam success, was made by England sponsor Nike. It features several players including Toby Flood, Chris Ashton, Ben Foden and Mark Cueto.

It was due to be part of a major advertising campaign which also included 5,000 limited edition Grand Slam t-shirts, and a planned billboard campaign on the London underground which also had to be scrapped.

The England grand slam video was leaked on multiple video-sharing sites, including Youtube and Vimeo and is available in many places, despite frantic efforts being made to have it removed from various sites.

The England t-shirts read 'Onwards' under a logo featuring a '6' and a red rose and were due to have been worn on the field after the match and sold in London.
Nike E-mail: 'When we win against Ireland'
According to The Telegraph, the e-mail said: 'We have commissioned a special limited edition T-shirt to celebrate the England Grand Slam 2011, which we will give to the players when we win against Ireland on Saturday.'

'The T-shirt is inspired by the iconic English rose (like the kit) and 5K units will go into retail at the RFU & NikeTown London after the game.

'In the spirit on owning sporting moments, we will also execute a burst of Digital Out-of-Home activity that will start right on the final whistle in over 20 of London's most prominent underground stations through Digital Escalator Panels and Cross-Track Projections.'

Commenting on the e-mail and video, a Nike spokesman said: 'We commissioned a celebration T-shirt and a video featuring the players, as we obviously need to plan ahead.
'It's unfortunate that this email has been leaked, and perhaps the lesson is to be less optimistic in our internal communications.'
