Quote:I cheered as loudly as anyone when Jason Robinson scored his try!
Good for you McTag. I know this sounds rather pompous but I was really delighted not just with the score but the way in which the game was played, the way the players behaved (of both teams) and generally exhibited all things decent. Neil Back's little girl kissing the trophy...oh dear getting emotional...
Its a real pleasure to be able to take unadulterated pride for once in an outstanding achievement which was a credit to all those involved and reflects credit on the game of rugby, England, Britain, er Europe (Jacques Chiraq et les bleues) er...the Northern Hemisphere...er..Samoa, (never did find it on the map), well the entire world in fact; including Wales.
Meanwhile back in the real world of association football superstars (the ones children really want to emulate)
Freddy Lungeberg gets sent off for swearing at the referee. (How pathetic is that..)
Lee Hughes spends the night in gaol after crashing his car and running away.
However McTag I have my suspicions...
Quote:We watched the rugby match in a pub in Edinburgh, and the atmosphere was marvellous. there was a "Walkabout" Aus bar, but too many people crowding in, so we went nearby, to another pub...
So your
first choice was an
Aussie bar eh?
what did you think of the referee's performance btw. Absolutely diabolical imo, but you would never have known it from the reaction of the players!!!
