Rugby World Cup 2007, Minnows Unite!
Ok let's face it you're gonna find out sooner or later that I love my rugby. Years of playing school 1st team rugby,
Allright nuff rambling. The world cup is here and I have been looking forward to it! So much so that I have dished out guitar money to buy a hard disk video recorder because most of the time I am out playing live so will miss so many of the matches.
What can I say though, from the ones I have seen it has been a great start to the tournament, for the best reason possible, and that is to watch the 'smaller' nations do well! I must have woken up most of my neighbours watching the Ireland v Georgia match and screaming in excitement at the tele at 3am after coming back from a gig. Georgia were unlucky not to win that match. Japan v Fiji was brill in the last 15, Namibia pushed Ireland and the biggest 'upset' of all and what a better way to start the tournament as a spectator: Argentina beat France in the opener. I was playing with my band at the time and remember being excitedly gobsmacked as I looked up the result on my phone after the gig.
