Oh Dear nnnnnnnnnnnorman - I appear to have misled you. When I said I support anyone playing against England - I didn't mean "foreigners"! God forbid.

While I do recall the glory days of the 70s and 80s even I wouldn't support a foreign team on British soil. Ireland, Scotland and Wales - all of them, any time, vs the old enemy . . . but France . . . (sharp intake of breath) No, I don't think so.

No offence Mc tool, Claude and all but we been hammered by the antipodeans so long so hard and so often that I couldn't bring myself to support any non-British side (even playing England!!!).

Damn - next thing you know the bloody Americans will be playing rugby . . . god knows what they'll call it . . .

I don't know about girl's rugby but I remember a local girls school played my school at hockey once. It was thought grossly unfair that their 1st team should play ours so they were dumped at the mercy of our 2nd XI who were a merciless bunch - I should know - I was their captain. Undefeated and we left injuries wherever we played. I can remember cautioning the school coach as to the safety of the players.

I was right to worry - by half time we had had 2 leave the pitch for the rest of the match and one for the rest of the season. Yep - all male!! They cut us into bite-sized pieces - worst defeat all season (not the only one but very nearly).

Me - I think girls can be quite tough enough

Rhino,

The worst is watching England play the Springbox as you want both sides to loose.

Cheers,

Fraser.

Voxan closed mid last year and was sold to Venturi, the french car manufacturer. Don`t know if Voxan will continue to exist.

Overheard in Section 110, said by a woman who identified herself as the Rugby Goddess, who is seriously conflicted: "Whose idea was it to have cheerleaders for a rugby game? That's humiliating. And while we're at it, the men should have shorter and tighter shorts."

Rugby would be a women's sport?

I have always thought Rugby is harder than boxing (which I used to play, too).
