The disco lights are on, the fires a lit, the horse muck has been cleared and the teams are on their way out. Soon a match will break out.
An email from Harry Lang
“In this underdog epic of a 6 Nations? Andaccording to the Zack Crawley law of last ditch English salvation we’ll probably smash the French and all recent failures will be forgiven ‘til after a humiliating World Cup.. Allez les sous chiens (sorry, French A Level was a while back).”
Ok, so there are two people dressed as hybrid Power Rangers/Boba Fett on horseback to bring the match ball on. The horses then each pull a wheelie* before heading off. This is something to do with the 120 year anniversary, once again.
I hope the players are not expected to shake hands with the horses as part of the pre-match formalities.
