Around here, there seems to have been a simultaneous loss of (a) TV coverage at 21.00 last night and (b) any memory that France was playing England. Funny that, eh? The fireworks celebrating 10 years of the Stade de France I believe were also planned with a French win in mind. That must have been really disappointing for the French. (oh dear) P.S. BRAVO LES ANGLAIS! you did us proud Cendrillon    Report

The England centre’s bravery in going up so hard and fast on a player with Heymans’s pace paid off in full because there are few better finishers in the international game than Paul Sackey." sociability is just a big smile and a big smile is nothing but teeth    Report

I have an uncle who played professionally and in his old age he could hardly walk. He sort of wobbled from his knees, which bent under him. How is Bill Beaumont these days? He had to retire on health grounds.    Report

But it doesnt take away the loss of Simon Best for us. Anyway - the 6N's is wide open and I feel a few more (rubbish - a load more) Guinness coming on and some great rugby (despite what I might have felt pre the 1st games). Oh - and another wee win for the Glaws - Falcons dispensed with.    Report
