RUGBY

Anyway, enough of the gallivanting, here comes autumn and it's back to work and the serious stuff. Like rugby! Last week-end was the grand opening of the season: the London Double Header. Personally, I don't think it could have gotten off to a better start as Nick scored the first try of the game within two minutes. Alas, the ending was not so fortuitous as 'Quins were held to a 29-29 draw with Wasps. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Channel, they already have five games under their belts and Mirco has yet to get himself off the bench (or so it seems to me), let alone score his first try. In the classement, Stade are 5th, hotly followed on their tails by RCM-92 in 7th. And they both share 13 points - it's a close run thing so far.
