Rugby was the winner

His firm very generously hired a function room and laid on food and drink to enable the staff to sit back and relax and watch the first big match of the Rugby World Cup - England -v- South Africa.

Now your correspondent maintains a neutral pose in all matters and is merely concerned to see that rugby is the winner but having listened into Mike Catt's pre-match interview ("so, mike do you think you can win it?"..."er,... well i suppose anything is possible in international rugby") we at Bogun Towers were somewhat concerned about England's prospects and as it turned out rightly so. Indeed the only thing that England's supporters could be glad about was that their pre-match concerns about whether they had a good enough kicker were not proved good (mind you that was only because England did not have a kick at goal).

It seems the only people to enjoy the evening were the four Welshmen (our subject included) who declared themselves delighted to see rugby coming out the winner.

I'm sure he was equally pleased to see rugby win out once more at the Millennium Stadium when Wales met Australia ;)

I watched this match hoping to see Bryan Habana score some more tries. Thankfully not to see England do anything.
