Eh? Trams are the new rock and roll.
Snap rugby prediction: your boys are going to lose today.

I agree about BO'D - it's amazing what a difference one player can make.
Sweet Irish first-half try, too.

The inventiveness and fast ball of Stringer was sorely missed as well. If we'd managed to win today, and got the two boys back, we'd have to be stonewall favourites for the Grand Slam.
The maul for the penalty was brilliant. I thought the ref was very dodgy with some of his decisions against the Irish. Especially the ending of advantage the second time it happened, and not giving any advantage when we scored the try in the first half.

Feck!

Are you an American by any chance?
