STRANGE LIAISON

With just 12 days to go until the VI Nations (yaay!), Mirco in the national squad, Nick Easter in the Elite (as England like to call themselves ;p), Quins through to the quarter finals of the H-Cup, and Stade out (no) thanks to Quins, it's interesting to see that Mills & Boon, in their 100th anniversary year, have come up with a very odd concept: their own 'individual' style of novel within a rugby context. In my own mind (not that it ever crossed it before), the two genres don't combine too easily but apparently M&B has 'moved on and sexed up' (obviously fallen for those taut muscles of calendar fame) and someone at the RFU thinks that rugby needs some romantic injection. Mirco notwithstanding, rugby's definitely best kept tough and with some hard rucking.
