I assume this is about sports! But what kind of sport?

 It's the taking part ...  - or was it the taking apart ? :-)

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

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

Well, even though I'm from Toulouse, I'm not paying much attention to rugby, I'm afraid...

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