The eve of truth

October 13, 2007

Stade de FranceOnly a few more hours and Paris will be the theater for a Rugby clash between England and France. Already much speculation is going about the chances of each team to get a place in the final. The online newspapers, the blogs… they’re all taking a pitch at each teams chances. Will the English surprise everybody and pull it off again and - like in 2003 - get a place in the final? Or will the French team hold their defense as they did against New Zealand and pull off another stunt? Let’s wait and see.

The match of Sunday between the Pumas and the Springboks is also heavily debated. Are cracks showing in the South African team after their marginal victory over Fiji? Are the Argentines really that good that they can put aside the South Africans? Again, we have to hold our breath until Sunday evening…

This will without doubt be a weekend where Rugby history will be written…

    Dag samen,

    even een gewoon Nederlands berichtje, for old times sake. Leuk om te lezen over jullie belevenissen! Jullie zijn door de verhuizing weer van het Digitale tijdperk naar het Papieren tijdperk overgegaan, zo te zien.
    Ik heb een mailtje klaar staan voor Claartje: naar welk mailadres kan ik dat sturen?

    Groeten,

    Jacqueline

Got something to say?
