What a difference a few months makes, what a difference, more pertinently, a name on a team-sheet makes.
To be fair, Jonny Wilkinson wasn't the only reason for England's timely victory over Scotland's rugby team yesterday; having Brian Ashton as head coach was at least as important and the team he selected played like a unit, which just wasn't the case under his predecessor Robinson.
Anyway, the locals in the Rob Roy were pretty friendly considering they had to put up with two England shirts amongst the sea of blue (Simon and I got there early, so we had the best seats in the house) although the landlord did turn off the sound during the national anthem. After the match, he came over to have a chat and he explained that if it were a soccer match, he would have asked us to leave - for our own safety!
42 : 20, eh? Well, I'm not the only one who's glad that Jonny is back.
