I am disgusted by some of the blatant prejudice in these comments. Yes they lead a life of privilege but some people have assumed that makes them snobs and haters of the working class. Grow up.
I think it's great that the rugby team didn't think they were all snobs. I know a few people who are good friends who go to eton, and they certainly are not snobs, but are loaded because they have very hard working parents who are out from 5am till 9:30 at night. I do not go to eton (but have a 70% scholarship to a small private school nowhere near as pricy as eton)
I think you'll find increasingly those types of parents can no longer afford to send their kids to Eton - speak to your friends - they will attest to amount of foreign pupils whose parents are seriously loaded - the Chinese especially. Whether they are snobs is hard to fathom as the Chinese tend not to have huge hang-ups about class as the Brits do.
sinfield saying 'there's a good mix of classes' was quite funny. er... i think you mean a good mixture of upper and upper-middle class. hardly think he'd of spoken to a young jamie peacock on his day at eton.
very true - in any case you would have thought they could have spent their time at a school in a deprived area rather than one where yearly fees start at £36,000.
You hit the nail on the head... 'The people who go to this school are tomorrows business leaders and banking gurus'. The Bane of all working class, the people who legally steal our hard earned (really hard earned) money. I have no doubt that there are some good lads there, but please do not assume that being loaded automatically brings 'Class'. The behavior of Union players is much worse than League players, celebrity syndrome like soccer players.
@djkdiscos9 nah mate, I live in paradise and aren't required by cultural custom to prance around like a little bender, neither have I recieved an initiation bumming from the older boys for traditions sake. @MegaCross123 burst my what?

revol148 haha the Chinese thing is certainly true
at 2:31, those boys were like, " can we go home now?"
I'm at Eton and I know that there is a stereotype that we are all posh but about a third of the kids come from public schools.
Unfortunately Josh, U weren't at eton at that point. awks
what's name of this piece of music ? Does anyone know? thx
Rule Britannia
teddy is very nice...
to clarify, the name of the Masque is Alfred the Great.
guessing it was Elliot who got them down. Big thumbs up to him
Rule Britannia. From the Masque (musical play) by English composer Thomas Arne.
Thomas Arne was an etonian
If being educated at eton was so good then why do we have a government that could not run a bath. Sorry barth.

These working class rugby league lads as much as i love them are what the kgb use to call useful idiots
I agree they go from school to university then they go into politics. Most of them have never had to make it in the real world.
Working class lads kowtowing to their masters.

Who noticed the Eton boy on the left side in 1.32 minutes? He's look so arrogant and his face look down on camera man!
