There were 2 possible forward passes for their try, and another one that was blindingly obvious a few minutes later. Maybe it’s the curve of the earth playing tricks.
Well I enjoyed the day watching in Northern France, found a nice spot to park ourselves but got to say I didn’t find the locals particularly friendly - when we tried to ‘improve’ our view I heard a lot of new French words I fortunately didn’t understand, then there were lots of bratty kids only...
We have 2 spare tickets in the WSU for the women’s Euros quarter final at the Amex, which would be England if they win the group.
£10 each - please send me a PM if interested. I would need to transfer them across as they are in my UEFA app currently.

And actually Sussex had a poor final over, it could have been even more than 477.
I’ve been watching the first 2 series of Follow the Money, which has also been very good. Just about coming the the end of series 2 and looked to buy a box set for series 3 but the only one available, it seems, is in German and no English subtitles either. If anyone out there has information...
For the 1982 World Cup they used Sussex University for their pre-tournament training camp and for years they had a Northern Ireland shirt that was presented to say thanks in a glass cabinet in the sports centre. I imagine it’s not there any more but you never know!
Apparently they were all guilty as charged except for the Scouser who was arrested as a result of over zealous policing and is getting his MP involved (and wasn’t there to support England anyway).
