Excellent - the rugby world cup has started in Australia. I think I have managed to watch three full matches and 2 or 3 others in part. Its fantastic! I'm really looking forward to watching Tonga and Samoa in a few days time. Why you ask? Well firstly I want to go on a trip to the Pacific and I am fascinated by the culture and secondly becuase these are usually big, tought guys who throw their weight around. for some reason I enjoy watching very large men thunder into each other at high speeds while trying to control an ovoid shaped ball.
I feel like breaking into a chorus of Swng low sweet chariot followed by a rousing version of Blake's Jerusalem, but I'll refrain. If you haven't seen any rugby give it a go and let me know what you think.
