What A Nail-Biting Day For Rugby

What a day for rugby. If I didn’t have so much biltong and so many jelly beans to munch through, I’d have gnawed my nails to the bone.
First England pipped Australia and then France were their characteristic selves and pulled one out of the hat again by sneaking past New Zealand. Both games were [...]
