A Slow Saturday

We didn't make it home from Ally & Sue's Braai until after midnight - not sure I could manage too many 7 hour drinking sessions with those girls - must be out of practice.


Despite that we all met at the Yard for brunch on Saturday morning, but thereafter I managed to retire to a cool shady space with the Telegraph crossword and the Six nations on Supersports.

The France/Scotland match was disappointing - Scotland made too many mistakes and it looks as if France have some new talented players - could be interesting to see how they shape up over the next year or so. I wonder if the match set a record for the number of disallowed tries - it could have been an embarrassing scoreline for Scotland if the French hadn't made so many errors themselves.

However the Wales/England match was much more interesting with some bruising rugby - I know that Jimmy C and Bernie will both be disappointed with the result but I think it was a fair result and makes the last game of the competition a potential grandslam decider.

Up to the club for dinner - Sushi night in the restaurant - and a sizeable crowd of Welsh supporters - not an England shirt in sight. A bit loud but very good natured - and the sushi was excellent as was the Vrede and Lust Riesling.
