Leicester 30-12 Ospreys

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Visited Leicester on the weekend for the Heineken Cup game. The city’s pubs weren’t up to much (though there were a few decent pins of Tiger Best Bitter to be had) but this was more than made up for by the quality of the food which we ate at Bobby’s. Delicious Indian vegetarian food, highly [...]

Grand Slam

Fantastic! I watched the game with around 24,999 to 39,999 others (depending which newspaper you read) on the big screen outside City Hall in Cardiff. I don’t think I can do the day justice in words so I’ll leave it to others (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, [...]

Had a great weekend in Edinburgh. As if the result wasn’t good enough, we watched the Ireland vs France match in the Bow Bar (Perfect pint of IPA) with Max Boyce.
