1990 England Rugby Union Tour Of Argentina
This second tour of Argentina by England was apparently arranged without Geoff Cooke's knowledge, and at an inconvenient time of the year for the England players in July and August. For this reason, eight England players declined the invitation to make the trip, and the only seasoned internationals on the tour were Will Carling, Richard Hill, Wade Dooley, Brain Moore, Jeff Probyn and Peter Winterbottom. Who is to say which of them, with the advantage of hindsight, inwardly wished that they had too had declined the invitation.

With grace and might of chivalry,
The God for him wrought marvellously,
Wherefore England may call and cry
