You will be pleased to hear I, at least have a temporary ray of hope. It's match one of the Six Nations Rugby tonight. England v Wales.
Beer - check.
Nibbles - check
Hankies(just in case) - check.
Door locking at 1900 BST - check.
Phone off hook at 1900 BST - check.
Think I've covered everything.
France v Scotland and Italy v Ireand tomorrow.... more beer and nibbles:D
I am going through a similar check list for our Football (American style) Superbowl on Sunday. Sounds like a good weekend for us all :)
CER Cymru!!!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Enjoy Winnie. As Pal said - similar actions are being taken here for Super Bowl weekend.
Now, if we could just come up with Super Bowl Rugby. Greenbay Packers vs. England!! Now that's a game!
Oh great! Are you trying to entice Bret Favre out of retirement again?
There's nothing more vicious or fun to watch than your country playing against another.
And is there a better bonding experience than heaping insults at the others?
I envy you Winnie, have a blast!
I am not a huge fan of football, but do watch the big games. It would indeed be something to see and experience if some how we could watch an international game of footbal (American style). Or if we had a high level of ineterest in Rugby. The country interactions by the fans is fun to watchQuote:

Not me, I have not had TV at the cabin for the last 11 years. You must be referring to when I was house sitting last winter.Quote:

WOOHOO!WOOT WOOT!! ENGLAND 26-WALES 19 (sorry Gryff)
Fantastic match, plenty of running Rugby. The beer was good too.
Looking forward to tomorrow to see how the oppostion are playing.
Surely there MUST be some mistake!!! Wales is supposed to win!!!Quote:

There are plenty of other references, from back when we were just colonies. LOL
So, the town of KillTheBloodyRedCoats, Indiana isn't along the same lines?
Soooo for those of you who might like to know what all the fuss is about, the Rugby World Cup is this year. Yes the USA has a national team, and yes they made it to the pool rounds. Your first match is 23rd Sept v Australia.
Here's linkie to all things Rugby World Cup.

UPDATE! 2nd round. I'm afraid Italy got taken apart and were given a major lesson in how to play Rugby yesterday. Final Score.... England 59. Italy 13. Other match Scotland 6. Wales 24. France v Ireland today. Check list completed!
Italians playing rugby is a joke...surprised they even scored.
Wales...tough, strapping brawling men vs. Scotland...a bit more refined.
France vs. Ireland...no contest...Ireland wins by a lot.
Any questions?
I'm sure Ranger Rick was disappointed.

When the tournaments were in town, the pub bought 3 or 4 extra pianos. It seems that when a winning Rugby team is having a good time they seem to celebrate by having a scrum with the piano. They always paid for the damages and were careful that none of us innocent bystanders were in the way. I think the record was 5 pianos in a week. Thanks for starting this thread and bringing back some fond memories from the past.
Sorry Bee, Final score Ireland 22. France 25. The game was rather broken, a lot of kicking and giving away posession.
Crash,I'm glad to remind you of some good memories. You've just reminded of me my rather misspent youth, I had fling with a Fijiian Scrum half...... Lovely man, 6'2" and looked rather fine in rugby shorts(or not):innocent:.
I've been to a few International matches and always felt perfectly safe. Rugby fans are happy drunks*hic*:blushing:
France, won?!!! Can't believe it!
Ireland probably had a toddy or two before the game, is all I can think of.
