Opening Early for the Rugby World Cup

An Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman all walk into a pub.

The Welshman is of course still in New Zealand!

Given the performance of the England team the other day against France, it is clear that most of the team are only a couple of years away from their Strictly debut!
