England are in the Rugby World Cup final, so let's have some fun

It’s Friday, the day before England beat South Africa in the rugby World Cup final (possibly).

So, to while away the hours until the pub opens, we’ve been coming up with bands as rugby words.

The Scrumble Strips, Fly Half Man Half Biscuit, The All Black Lips – that’s the kind of stuff we’ve been coming up with. Stupid? Yes, but kind of addictive – head to the NME Blog now and try to beat our efforts.

Don’t forget to ping the blog round to your mates and let’s get a bit of competitive spirit going, eh?
