News about Andy Goode

After losing to Argentina at the Rugby World Cup, Joe Marler has begged former England flyhalf Andy Goode to 'eat s***'. In the bronze medal match at the Stade de France on Friday night, England defeated Argentina 26-23. In a post-match presentation, Marler, who was left out of the match against the Pumas, joined his England colleagues to earn their bronze medals.

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Henry Arundell was left ecstatic after being told to 'chase those f***ing kicks' by Owen Farrell during a training session prior to the World Cup. During one session, the England captain's demanding and confrontational leadership style culminated in high emotions, but sources familiar with the situation insist Arundell was not chosen out for special care, with Farrell setting high expectations for all his coworkers. Arundell was largely overlooked by coach Steve Borthwick during the World Cup because he had 'a bit of a scrap in preparation,' according to Farrell, a version of events strongly denied by all involved.

Gareth Thomas, a former England rugby player, is deemed "immoral" by Andy Goode, who is a part of ITV's Rugby World Cup coverage. Ex Wales rugby captain Thomas agreed to pay £75,000 to a former colleague who accused him of'deceptively' transmitting HIV to him in January. Thomas hid his HIV status and 'failed to take reasonable precaution' to ensure he didn't pass it on, according to Ian Baum.

ALEX BYWATER: Despite widespread skepticism, the rugby World Cup organisers have no plans to change the way national anthems are performed at the tournament in France. The decision by French officials to commission school choirs made up of students from various backgrounds to perform national anthems has been met with unanimous disdain from supporters from both directions. Fans from both countries, as well as those watching at home, have argued that the choirs have taken the life out of the game atmosphere and made it impossible to sing along.

At the final whistle of their 2-2 draw on Sunday, the former Liverpool footballer, 69, was discussing his thoughts after a bust-up between Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte. Souness remarked on the game's antics: 'Simulation and people throwing themselves to the ground.' I haven't seen that in the two games today. All of a sudden, it's a man's game.' However, former Lioness Eniola Aluko and current England actor Bethany England, who told Souness to 'get in the garbage,' condemned his remarks. During a talk on TalkSport, Souness reiterated his views, saying he does not regret a single word of what he said. Dr. Carneiro has backed him today, describing him as 'one of the good guys'.
