Northanlite,
It comes from ICBD who self proclaimed that the 6 Nations was a two tier comp with Eng/Scot/Italy in the bottom section. By his own words he effectively declared that if you can only beat Scot and Italy in a season (as he thought would be the best Eng could ever achieve) then you are deemed a Tier 2 Nations. Chickens have well and truly come home to roost here following Ireland's collapse today  |

so it's really a made up term then?
england will be climbing up the IRB rankings that's for sure, can't believe how much they have improved from that first game at murrayfield. |

Whilst I'm happy that England are doing well, I can still laugh at them being tier 2.
I seem to remember, them trying to break away from the 6N with France to play in the TRI-Nations, because the rest weren't good enough. And also signing a solo deal with SKY in the late '90s which almost had them ejected from the 5N. |
