[kind words from Steve and Bruce snipped] Actually, I have to confess that I know nothing about rugby. I did go to a match once, when I was a student, but that was to engage in assaults on a rival college, and I have no idea what happened on the pitch or field. I have also attended one soccer (football) match and one Gaelic football match, both when I was at school. I don't know anything about them either. My daughter, living in London, arranged a gathering in an alehouse (or, to be more specific, a Porterhouse) for the last day of the recent Six Nations thingie. She said that the English folk present were, like Steve and Bruce, very kind about the Irish team --- but delighted that the Welsh had been beaten. bjg
