Scotland V Australia rugby

I had no hope for Scotland playing Australia today, but the last 20 minutes there were just brilliant. There was no way Scotland should have won, but they did and they deserved it for sheer bloody determination!

Very cool, Face. We don't get as much Rugby here now that the Fox channel is all football. It used to show other things, but not any more.

Australia had a 27 year (17 game) history of beating Scotland every time and would have won today if an extra-time conversion had gone between the posts, but it didn't and they lost! It's like beating Brazil at the footie, though at the end I felt a bit like Homer Simpson when he chants 'De-fault!, De-fault! - The two best words in the English language!' haha

Was it just a friendly? I didn't know there was rugby on at the moment, I hope you not talking about rugby league because that's pish.

no, it was Union - NZ, Argentina and Australia are all visiting I think. NZ beat England today as well I think, so that puts an extra shine on things!

Yeah ok, no need to rub it in

but England rugby fans aren't the same as England football fans, they know the words to the national anthem for a start.
