Rugby musings

This afternoon sees the second bash at France vs Ireland after the very very late cancellation of the International in February. It was really hard on the travelling fans who, no doubt, spent a great deal of money on travel and accommodation costs - let alone the cost of tickets.


I am able to watch this match as a neutral which is a relief. I spent much of last week's Scotland vs France match not daring to look at the screen (though there was the satisfaction of two tries which was a Good Thing.)

Anyway, this match gives me the chance to use a photo taken in Paris when we went en famille to the Heineken Cup Final of 2010. A touch of style and class, methinks.
It was a marvellous weekend that gave us many jolly memories. We will never forget the call of "crouch, touch, pause, engage" ... when we were inside a packed metro train and a group of supporters were organising their way onto the train. No harm done.
Then there was the food --- ah, happy days.
