s(up)porting heroes?


The Six Nations Rugby internationals start today! A new coach, new skipper, new squad…. and new hope? It’s been a really difficult time supporting any England team recently - dismal football World Cup performance; embarrassing cricket in the Ashes series and the one-dayers (apart from yesterday!). Surely the rugby team won’t let us down?
Well, after last year, don’t put your mortgage on it!
Come on England!

Footnote (6.30pm): of course, I never had any doubts (they won.... and Villa won too!)
