You could hardly say France was taken apart - mor e an honourable defeat: Frogs an unlucky 13, Ozzies 18.

Fortunately I'm neither a rugby fan nor a nationalist:-)

Ruthless Springboks cruise to comfortable 42-6 victory
Heaviest defeat England have ever suffered at Twickenham

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

Couple of things, but not sports, as you noticed.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.
