England v South Africa
You might be aware that I would never have taken such an interest in this world cup final or in the game of rugby itself if it weren’t for my little laddy being such a star player and all.
So, we had it all planned for tomorrow - crisps, chocs, beers, J2O’s for the kids. All snuggled up on the sofa watching the big game. Then my middlie announced that she is dancing in a show at our local theatre. So, my rugby-mad son and his dad will watch the game and I will watch my daughter dance.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot – a traditional rugby anthem favourite performed here by UB40. I did hear that Kenny Rodgers’ The Gambler is a bit of a changing-room players favourite which I think is a bit of an odd choice for a bunch of burly brutes. Anyhoo, UB40 is what you’re getting.
Go England!

Ah rugby, the beautiful game and what a World Cup it has been. So many upsets and surprises.
Go England ya bulldogs!
I regret I do not understand that game. In Spain it’s soccer and basketball.
Brilliant! And didn’t they also sing….
” ‘White, white wine”
Cheers Matty.
Jose, I don’t get it either. I watch those guys and really wonder about all those cavemen-like bodies piling on top of each other. Strange game. And they even have that totally cryptic offside ruling that I still haven’t figured out in the football game.
Lol MissyL. Hey that rhymes! I’m a poet . . . and I didn’t know it. (cheesy grin).
T’was red wine dearie.
Oh and Argentina have just trashed the French chicklets 34-10. What a game!
Jose. You don’t have to understand it. Just feel the power of those crunching tackles.
‘Red White wine’ … wasn’t it.
[ i'm on holiday for a week now ... see ya all ]
Did you see Ireland -V- France?
(One of the French guys was so-o-o-o hot I never saw an Irishman)
I didn’t watch tonight’s game Matt. We watched Spiderman 3.
Red white wine indeed. Enjoy your holiday Matt. It’s half-term which means I can slow down a bit too. I still have to work but the kids’ activities are off so I can stop being a taxi.

MissyL, hot French guys running around in shorts chasing a funny shaped ball huh? How did I miss that??
You were blogging!—————–>
MissyL, love that avatar. Where do you find them?
Hot French guys playing with a funny shaped ball; I knew there was something a little off centre about them.
Now, hot French girls playing a little rugby-lite; there’s a thought!
It’s a little frog . Just trying to fit the topic! I can’t tell you where I get them…..
