Probably all those who thought they might get a touch damp walking to the car.

I had a lie-in after a disturbed night, so I crawled up to the sofa and watched
it. Well, sometimes I just had to put my hands over my eyes as the tension was just too much :-D

It was an excellent game, though and Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal was a fairytale ending for England.
I have an urge to clasp Wilkinson to my heaving bosum - in a purely maternal way of course ;-)

The boys did good.

Cheers, helen s

Not I. Took the dogs for a walk in the pouring rain and lived to watch the rugby as well, which was
superb! Tomorrow I'll cycle regardless of the weather and thoroughly test my new Goretex jacket
which passed the dog walking test with flying colours.

I was just glad the weather was foul. Had I stayed in listening to the rugby on a glorious day I'd
have felt rotten.

Never even bothered to open the curtains, let alone look out or consider going out.

Poetic justice that it was won with a drop goal from the master -- especially after the ragging the
Aussie press have been giving him

:~)

Not me Sir. I was up at 0515 and rode past the car in the drive to work at 0545 and the local
time/temp gauge read 1 deg C. Could have done with another base layer though. Simon

Not me I went to the Post Office then to Morrisons which was very, very quiet. I went cycling around
midday, on some new routes for me, very chilly, hilly, 14% from Batley to Morley.

The beauty of cycling is you get to cycle when you want to. The beauty of watching England in a
World Cup Final is that you don't get that kind of choice, it only happens once in a blue moon. Save
a tragedy, there is no way on this earth I would have missed it. It was f&^$%&g brilliant.

Not I ;-)...I very sensibly took the opportunity to get down to the supermarket and complete the
weekly shop in relative peace and quiet, before heading off to work at 1200...through to 2400, (or
0000?!!?). Worked well and now I get a very pleasant day with my family without interruption,
tomorrow...which is nice ;-)...co-incidentally happened to catch reports throughout the match and
heard the last 5 mins., which was interesting...yay the lads!! Dave.

Not me - but then I'm a jinx. I though I'd stay in and *not* watch the rugby. Well it worked!

Foul weather?

Up here the weather gods obviously realised that noone wanted to watch the other lot play Australia
(except ex-pat english like me) so gave us a clear day with a heavy frost.

I was up and out at 8am having found my htermal shoe covers and onto the hills. Fantastic morning.
The low winter sun was like pastels in the mist rising from the frost. The straths and glens were
so beautiful it was an amazing ride. Crisp clean air, not too much traffic and a fw chats with
other cyclists who passed me (especially Hi to the guy on the bright pink colnago heading into
Coupar Angus).

The frost was so heavy that we were really cautious on the brakes coming down off the Sidlaw hills
into Strathmore. Coming back was south into the sun, with the first few fields brightening as the
frost burnt off as mist leaving dog rays through the trees receding back into the misty plain.

And then I got home at 10.30, grabbed a cuppa and thought I'd just check who had won, in time to
catch the second half of extra time and see Johnny's exquisite demonstration of how to get a
drop goal.

Great weather, great ride, great day.

Nor me either. Didn't rise from my scratcher until 10:55 (although I did open one eye at 08:15 to
make sure daughter had got off to work.)

Must go to bed now, up early o'clock Sunday to go cycling in the peeing rain.

And we nearly did it again...

Australia did themselves proud - both in the way they staged the cup and the way they played today.
Their press is a bit much, but as long as we've got the Daily Mail, I'm not inclined to criticise
other countries for having asinine and malignant journalists.

Hi David

As this NG's resident defender of said rag, I have to say that their reporting of the final was PDG.
Whoops, today's rag was the MoS - I'd better wait for tomorrow's paper.

However, I do wonder how many people have suddenly become rugger experts when compared to, say, one
month ago. Still, can't complain - the more the merrier. Finally, is the %age of people who can
explain the laws governing the ruck greater than that who can explain soccer's offside law? It's a
funny old world.

Even more finally, I believe Martin Johnson should get more credit that he seems to. Jonny Wilkinson
is an extremely good kicker and fly half, but he's not the best number 10 ever. Johnson could well
be the best ever lock. Now that's bound to stir up some contraversy. :-)

PS My money was on Aussie.

Not me... a) it was nice on here on Saturday, b) I don't have a TV, and
c) I'd borrowed the Roosmobile to travel to Perth to pick up a pair of skis and then on to Glasgow
where Darth Ben had the 8 Freight waiting for me.

It was New Toys Day, bugger the rugger!

Not having a tele never stopped me from following the rugger.

Quite. I could hear the rain bouncing on the Velux window, going up six feet and coming down again.
Plus all my bicycles were forty miles away.
