Oh, alright, I'm not going to claim to be a huge fan of rugby league, but I do think the GB team deserve a huge slap on their collective back for coming from behind to beat the Australians in Sydney today (or yesterday depending on how you view time zones). All the more so as it seems from several accounts that I have read that the Ozzies tried to win by cheating outrageously and violently.
I'm not sure if it will have any impact on this weekend's two international rugby union fixtures, which are likely to end in defeat for the Brits: England take on the world's best team New Zealand tomorrow and I'm off right now to the pub to watch Wales take on Australia.
Come on Wales!
[EDIT:] The first ever draw between the two countries was a tremendous match. 29 points apiece and Wales look as though they could be a contender in the 6 Nations next year and, who knows, maybe the Rugby World Cup? [/EDIT]
