I never make predictions, but I have a sneaky feeling about this one. I'm going to say six ****in' nil.
Someone else probably... I mentioned a week or so ago that I was taking him to this friendly ...maybe getting yer games mixed up...
It has a different reputation in Ireland (and Wales)... in Scotland, it's seen as a public schoolboy sport.
I was raised in Englandshire so I know the reputation and it is partially true. Lots of good ****s play rugby though.
I do feel sorry for him sometimes... last week he caught the ball from kick off - under tens on a full size pitch - ran fairly flat out toward the wing , then up the wing evading a few tackles and shrugging some others off got over the line and scored...he came off at the end of the game and the conversation went something like - RLjunior - dad, dad , did you see my run near the end, nearly the whole length of the field ? RL - yes..... I did see it... RLjunior - What did you think ? Good ? RL - Son, you know I love you, but I don't think you realise the shame you have visited on this family.
I played quite a bit of Rugby whilst in the Army, tough game but the rules were baffling to me, good fun I suppose if you don't mind some eye gouging and biting or you crave cauliflower ears and physical deformities.
I played it at school, forced to, no choice in the matter. I was in the team due to having some basic understanding of the rules I think - the team consisted of me and the top fourteen or so thugs in the school. Think that's why I dislike it now.
If only you had a World beating bus Harry, it would have resembled India with people hanging from the roof etc.
Harry, hope we are both wrong and we get a big crowd. Have been seeing tic fans on london rd since 12.30
