Professor Alex Edmans, of the London Business School, has said that the stock market would plunge if England crash out, as the competition affects investor mood.
"A rugby loss leads to a next day decline of 0.15 per cent, which is roughly £3bn when applied to the UK stock market."
The English rugby team have their own hides to worry about, and will more likely be worried the financial bonuses they'll miss out on should they exit the tournament.
No pressure lads.
