Apologies to those who have already responded, but I need to 'chase up' the rest!

I need, please, an indication from you all that you will be happy to pay your 'subs' again this year so that I can fix the amount.

NB
1) I do NOT need money at this moment. Paying before I have calculated the required amount will complicate things!!
2) Some of you have already responded, so thanks.
3) If you can also say which payment method you prefer that would be good.

Please respond by PM, and the tally plus info is kept at the 'Members only' thread at viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8718

Rugby

Whether a participant or, dare I say it, a spectator - enjoy.

Good performance by France but Australia not totally disgraced by the 41/17 scoreline.

I have learned that the full name of Leicester Fainga'anuku is

Leicester Ofa Ki Wales Twickenham Fainga'anuku
... His father Malakai Fainga’anuku played prop for Tonga in the 1999 Rugby World Cup. During one of the games during the World Cup, in which Tonga beat Italy, at Welford Road Stadium, Leicester, England. Malakai named his son after the city in honour of the game. Wales was used as one of his middle names as the hosts and Twickenham was named after Twickenham Stadium where Tonga were due to play their next match. ...

I did not know any of that... ^:)^ ;)))

I lived in Leicester for a short while and played club rugby for Oadby and Wigston (Oadby Wyggestonian RFC). My father taught at Leicester University for a number of years, and all my English sisters were educated at a school in Oadby, famous for having Brian May, later a member of Queen as a pupil.

"Not a lot of people known that", as Michael Caine might have said... ;)))

More Brendan Nel...



Personally I think that the All Blacks will come back stronger than ever, and will be up for winning the World Cup. They have the depth, and the bruised pride to do just that!

Re today's 2024 Rugby Championship game, Australia/Argentina, a YT commenter posted, "stepped away when the score was 20 - 3: clearly missed some excitement!" :)) =))
