They left 80 minutes later with their tails between their legs,

80分钟比赛结束后却像被修理过的杂种
Like whipped mongrels.

夹着尾巴离开
And I, for one, am glad.

而我个人却感到欣慰
Not because they lost, but because there's now no way to ignore the fact

不是因为他们输掉了比赛而是现在
That we are completely and utterly unprepared

谁也不能忽视这样一个事实
To re-enter the world of top-notch international rugby.

我们还没准备好再进世界顶尖橄榄球赛事
The rugby world cup is now less than a year away,

距橄榄球世界杯还有不到一年
And I, for one, am relieved that we are the host nation,

我个人倒是松口气因为我们是东道主
And therefore qualified automatically for the tournament.

因此可以直接入围
Somebody gets the axe.

给我拿斧头来
Because I'm not sure that we would get in on merit alone.

因为单凭实力我们不一定能入围
Who's gonna be?

那谁能入围呢
