Look forward to a good match this afternoon when Australia look to outplay Fiji in Montpellier. Could be a bit miserable if you have clicked on the link and seen the weather, but Nice Nigel is refereeing today so there will be a good feel to the game. (Famous last words..!)
(Now, the above words may seem a bit 'ooo er missus' if you read the link to Nigel Owens but I assure readers that I knew nothing about his background when composing the words! When I said 'famous last words', I meant that, knowing my predictions, he could be officiating at a mass punch up...) A good ref and a good ref.
Anyway, Scotland's second team get a crack at the All Blacks too - at Murrayfield, where we, the TV viewers, hope not to see blue plastic seats galore but whiskey galore! Tries galore! Rugby galore! South African referee alors! Actually, Scotland could deal out a bit of power in the forwards if all goes to plan, and it will be interesting to see if New Zealand need to call for extras - as South Africa did yesterday. I watched their game develop and, after going out and coming back to the TV screen, I saw Habana, Big Percy, VapourVic, Francois Steyn and Smit on the pitch? All change! - and they were on their knees at the end too. Let's hope Scotland force the pace like Tonga did - thistle liven up proceedings!
Lovely picture of the thistle. All I can say is come on Scotland do your best. Im sure the scotland 1st team will be on the bench ready to be brought on should things go pear shaped! maybe they wont be needed!

Yeah - go Scotland! Duff the Kiwis over... I write to inform readers that the weather forecast, courtesy of Midi Libre, journal of the South of France, is totally bloody wrong. (At least it is 'harmonisation' with the UK forecasts!)
