Two cheers.

If the Springboks carry on playing like that, they'll come unstuck big time (hopefully on Dec 2.)

Ah - so it was you I heard cheering as I went to get my dinner on Sunday.
I hope you have done nothing but touch wood since you posted that - I personally think its just that the southern hemisphere teams aren't used to playing in so much standing water.
Well, they say that every cloud has a silver lining so if Kent has to be washed away so that England (and Ireland) can win at rugby then it is a sacrifice worth making

It wasn't very wet at Twickenham on Sat. Just a light drizzle at the start of each half. Don't know what it was like in Paris.

Highlight of the day on Saturday - standing near some VERY glum looking Aussies just after the replay was shown on the stadium screen. It's hard not to gloat - they've done it to us enough times.

I think the scoreline flattered the Springboks yesterday. The Irish could (should?) have won that.

What makes someone want to streak in London in NOVEMBER????????

They don't even get on the telly any more. All they get is a couple of nights in the cells and a conviction for Breach of the Peace.

Actually the two chaps who streaked (with their socks on - so Irish ) at the football match last week got £5000 fines...so I guess they're not feeling so clever about it now.
But to answer the question - a heady combination of beer and peer pressure makes people streak....

You sound as though you're talking from experience

25-17!

Hurrah for our gallant lads! No streakers this time (the sun was out, too).

Next up: NTL v Vodafone
