Since we can't be in the Stade de France
Simon and I have decided to enjoy the hospitality of our South African friends. We were going to rough it in the Bok Bar, but I remembered that there's another obvious choice...
I would post a picture, but the image is too large.
Anyway, my England shirt is in the washing machine as I type this. It should be bright white by the time I get to the pub - hopefully it'll stand out against a sea of green.
The England selection looks solid enough - good to see Catt, Gomarsall and Moody all in the starting line-up. I really hope to see Sackey flying down the wing (but do remember to touch the ball down as close to the centre as possible, dear boy) and expect great things from Sheridan in the pack, even against the Springboks' phenomenal second row.
I can hardly wait. COME ON ENGLAND!!
