Meanwhile, some of us from "The Land of My Fathers" prefer football played to a different code - with an oval ball - and no reference to "Parker's Piece" (or anywhere else in Cambridge, for that matter).

This isn't a "pop" at anyone or anywhere - far from it, in fact - but I don't think they're competing for the Webb Ellis Cup in Qatar ... .

Yes and very little chance of avoiding it unfortunately!

Not heard anything about the actual football though....

When it finally starts I hope the media will shut up about politics (in general) for five minutes.

But as a proper football fan, it's more club v country for me. I'm just praying that none of the players get injured at what is normally a crucial time of the season.
