Derek. good luck to your home team. I hope you and your mates haxe a great time at the pub. We at least some of us here in Virginia (there is that other team in Virginia) have a similar thing tonight. Virginia Tech, Virginia's only undefeated team, (American collrge football) is playing The University of Miami.It's probably tech's toughest game tp date. Tech is ranked number 3 in the country and Miami is number 6. Tech has an outside chance to play for the national championship if they stay undefeated, so wish us good luck also.

Derek being here in the states I'm no big follower of rugby so I'll just wish you luck at staying upright and aware enough to enjoy the game.

I think you have it right, pace your self....

Hope it was a "sipping" good time Derek. Moderation is the key.

Well best of luck for your team in the match. Wish I could watch it here, but in Alberta we seem to be in a rugger void. To be honest I'm pulling for the All Blacks. I've been a big fan of theirs since the days of Carlos Spencer ( arguably the best back row man out there) Oh well good luck

I'll tell ya...I wore my kilt through all of the White Sox playoff games and every game in the World Series and they took it all. So wear the thing,, drink heavily and cheer on your home team.

All I know about rugby, I've seen at University games here in the States, but it doesn't look like Wales fared to well:

Wales: 3
New Zealand: 41

:-(

Oh well, I hope you had fun at the pub anyway!

[Derek]

It was a good day out but unfortunately Wales lost
Wales 3 All Blacks 41
We all sank a few pints before the match and several more after to drown our sorrows. Strange that on this outing, for the first time I did'nt see any other Cilts/Kilts. At the pub, which was absolutely heaving (Plastic Glasses and all that .. I hate 'em), everybody seemed to be in jeans, including the women so I felt I was on a crusade being the only one in a Cilt. It still did not draw much special attention, just an occasional remark or witty comment, but I expect that on match day when there are large groups of men out together on the 'pop'. They are always a bit more loud mouthed and trying to be 'manly' .. guess you guys know what I mean.

Well done Derek ! I did in fact see a kilted guy wearing ( I think) the Wales national tartan on a TV interview at the stadium. He was not earing a sporran. It was great to see.
