Ruck & Maul

ADFA Playing Fields, Duntroon

How much do I love rugby? Some would say too much! Lastnight I gave up going to a free Bertie Blackman show to support my flatmate's boyfriend's team the Hall Bushrangers as they took on the ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) team. The boys went down, and we couldn't feel our toes by the end of it, but the hot soup we had when we got home made it all worth it.

I like that you follow it so devotedly. And that you are up here for the match with France this weekend. It is cold and miserable out there right now and I have a bug which is keeping my weight low - so to phrase it! I cannot see me making th SOH this evening to watch Dido give her all for love. To translate this: image if you were so ill that you could not make it to the match this evening!!

Oh no! That's so awful that you can't make your show...Aeneid? I always hate it when that happens, though luckily that misfortune has yet to visit me (touch wood). I was just thinking, come on Sydney, what's with the grey sky? Seriously, I get enough of it at home! But there's no chill wind, thank goodness.

Yes, that is dedication! I hope the Wallabies made up for the disappointment of seeing the Bushrangers lose...

Fiona said...

Absolutely - and in far more comfortable conditions.

Nice win over the French and an even better win for my beloved Boks against the whinging Poms. Pity about the ugly eye gouging offence. BTW, I still play for a local side in Melbourne. Veterans though! ;-)

T'was good, I admit I was pretty nervous about the result, but we ended up being pretty clinical in the end, which is really encouraging for the Tri-nations. Lucky you! What spot do you play?
