My RWC story....I was in NY on business and after dinner and a 'few' drinks, a colleague and I (Scottish - so that could have back-fired big time...) went looking for a pub showing the final. We found a few but they were all totally full. Went back to the hotel dejected....flew out that day. Sat there and I detected a slight accent in the (male) flight attendant....are you Australian by any chance. Yes he says, rugby fan I ask ? Yes, BIG fan - do you know the result? No. Oh I say Felt good to tell him the convicts got beat by a last-minute Jonny drop goal
Well, my schedule's come out. If I'm willing to drive 2 hours each way, we've got an away game in Doylestown, PA, in early april. Old Boys don't get to play much.
We played another Old Boys side from Denver over the summer...those cheeky bastards actually practice together
that was my side....those other buggers actually get together twice a week and run around! The nerve of them!
My buddy in London just sent me this video Great stuff Jim Telfer's Lions meeting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pHqw4XZhPE

Watching Top Gear on BBC America (this is one of the best shows on da telly) and they're playing rugby with Kia's @ Twickenham. Too funny. Jeremy Clarkson is the Man, fcuking Brilliant Sent from celly via Tapatalk 2
The one that aired this week. I'm guessing RFU was replacing Twickenhams pitch, since the Kia's tore it up.
Yup...the pockets in rugby shorts are so the girlie backs have somewhere to put their hands so the little dears don't get too cold.
Already got my tickets for the Lion's matches against the Reds and Wallabies at Suncorp in Brisbane. The Bundy rum will be flowing.
