Actually I used to be a rugby follower because of my Dad and then when Wales declined I lost interest and became more interested in amateur soccer. Nearly too my refs ticket actually. Never really got into professional soccer though. I followed Liverpool 'cos I went to school with Billy Liddell's sons and then there were the glory days with Hunt, Leishman, Callaghan, Hughes, Toshak and Keegan and more I can't think of. But I'd been dragooned into following Everton by a friend at school because the class needed one more Evertonian to make it 50:50 Everton:Liverpool. <br /><br />It's not until I went to live in NZ that I really found rugby interesting again. NZ has a way of making sport interesting and matter. Not bad for a country with 2/3 the population of Scotland.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-289058501581685412011-09-24T22:43:28.731+01:002011-09-24T22:43:28.731+01:00Never thought I'd see the day when you would f...Never thought I'd see the day when you would facilitate a discussion on rugby!

As a half time New Zealand dweller you can legitamately enjoy that too :)<br /><br />My friend is still shocked that Scotland are in a played two, won two pattern - not something you get to say very often... they are masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! <br /><br />Samoa! pfft!Fi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-36275964526205389322011-09-24T21:13:55.401+01:002011-09-24T21:13:55.401+01:00Adrian wash your mouth out!!!
