Rugby World Cup

We watched the Rugby World Cup semi-finals last night and England beat France which is turning the RWC into something of a farce. Since England won the previous world cup, they haven't been able to beat just about anyone - and now they're in the final. The question to ask is, if a team can string together a good series of results only once every four years do they deserve to be called 'The best team in the world' aka World Champions?
