The Rain In Spain...

...is a bit like the rain in Bordeaux.
Stade Chaban-Delmas is the venue for today's encounter between Australia and Canada. Bit of a foregone conclusion but I am pleased to announce the winner of one aspect in this tournament: 'sans doute' the band of the pools is the mob that are blowing their lungs out and thumping the drum within this stadium...dispersing the wetness with their brand of accelerated pomp - FANTASTIC! There was a rendition of the Basque 'national anthem' before the break which was enough to dislodge my speakers  - mes enceintes - from the wall... Agent Sylvain, your task, should you choose to accept it will be to get this band, on video, on the front page of Le Parisien Rugby World Cup 2007. What an honour that would be! (Clue - Dax? Attention the Controle de dopage: if the band are found to be full of Petrus, they need to be tested or congratulated...not sure which at the moment :¬)  )
