In the end your boys played well this morning.....looked a lot better than the All Blacks. Horribly boring match though!

If you call having a man sent off, not crossing the opposition line and letting them cross yours playing well.

Apart from the Red card, basically England were just more disciplined than the Pumas

We had a first up win. Not very convincing but a win.

Pleasing thing for me was watching one of my sons old team mates make his debut and score 2 tries

It did even make the news in Germany these days that the All Blacks lost against France. Like Baseball and other Anglo-Saxon ways of entertainment not many people here understand what this is all about, neither do I. Occasionally all players pile up on each other for unknown reasons, but then running somewhere obviously undamaged. Though some are. Jerry from the Bangkok oversize-condom-company might know why but I believe it is baseball he likes to talk about. He is now in Soi 22 down in a subsoi. His T-shirts wre good quality, 400 Bht each. I could keep on talking but it would be all meaningless. Where, by the way, is Cavanami? I started reading John Grisham all over again, Cav recommended him here. Sycamore Row, what a masterpiece. Leave the building now, good night.

I was thinking the same until yesterday morning when I saw him on the “online members list” for the first time in a couple of weeks. So still active just not posted recently.

Ireland has scored a bruising 13-8 win over defending champions South Africa at the Rugby World Cup, with Australia-born winger Mack Hansen scoring a try for the top-ranked side. 

Anyone but South Africa
