OH WOE!

You may have heard that Stade lost this week-end. Then again you may not, seeing as rugby is not exactly the centre of the sporting media’s universe. To cut a long story short, Leicester staged an amazing comeback in the last quarter of an hour of the game. Actually, not even that amazing since Stade had taken their eyes off the ball and thought they were sailing towards a comfortable 22-12 win. Don’t they know that you can’t trust the English? That as a nation, we never roll over, never give up, that we always need to be treated with care. So in the end, the final score was 22-29 in Leicester’s favour …

Having said this though, the Leicester fans proved once again the rugby is such a gentlemanly sport although my poor compatriots had a hard time getting their heads around someone with a Stade Français flag (i.e. therefore must be French) speaking such impeccably good English. Duh! All respect to them though, they really got behind their team and it made the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end to hear nearly 16,000 people chanting ‘Tiiigeeers, Tiiigeeers’. Shame the same couldn’t be said for Stade’s supporters who numbered probably a paltry 14 with a big flag.

Never mind, it’s only a game, after all! :)
