Rugby

Is it just me or…

Is Dricko moving in to plant a wet sloppy one on Girvin Dempsy’s lips?

All Blacks playing football against Portugal

Immediately after hammering Portugal 103-18 in the World Cup, they gave them a chance to even the score at soccer (they lost 3-1), and they all ended up drinking beer in the NZ dressing room afterwards. Now that’s sportsmanship!

England gets a new chariot driver….

There wasn’t a single chorus of “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” to be heard last week in Croke Park.

I wonder why?

I’m back!

After an all night drive to get there (note to self: never use Holyhead when visiting Cardiff. The main road snakes through the mountains), and another one to get back (Irish Ferries allowed me to change to the Pembroke ferry on the way back), I’m back home in one piece. The brother set me up with a great seat at the match. I was near the half way line on the top deck of the stand. I, along with 50,000 of the most rabbid rugby fans it the world, witnessed our team finally break the Heineken Cup Jinx.
