Beer o’clock comes early today:beer:
Brilliant performance England, into the final…bring it on (easy for me to say )
Hi Stella, are you thinking of kiwi Jonah Lomu by any chance ?
And no fluke either Mark, they were the best team by a mile on the day.
No, I’ve just taken a look… the “try” I remember was much more of a battle/marathon/sprint than that…
and, for some reason, Queen Salote is there in the same memory… and she died in the 60’s…
Of course, I could well be mistaken. It was a long time ago. I got into Rugby at an early age as my Dad was a VP of the local club.
I remember Queen Salote in the same carriage as Heile Selasse for the coronation in 1953 and all the jokes that she had brought lunch along.
Great game
I believe it was Brian Johnstone (of TMS) who made the comment about Queen Salote’s lunch but it was, according to his biographer, Emperor Hirohito sharing her carriage.
At last, something that makes me proud to be English.
Lets get back to to today… We got i!
An Irishman, Welshman and Scotsman walked into a bar, where’s the Englishman ? they all said to each other
Oh well, that’s that, then
Congratulations South Africa!
The better team on the day deservedly won. I think England peaked too soon, too many stupid mistakes.
The South African back line was awesome.
