I got capped!

[atthe_algonquin]

Well, 'capped'.  Since we don't get a real, actual cap, but I am officially in the gameday 22 tomorrow.  (As a sub, so you can all start desperately hoping that I have a run-out for, like, the last ten minutes.)

Please do not think that this indicates any talent for rugby on my part -- I'm a warm body to fill out the 22, but I'm still quite pleased.

It's more talent for rugby than most of us have - less sense of self-preservation, maybe, but more talent.

Congratulations!

hee -- after a few hours of freezing half to death, you may be right about the self-preservation! Thanks :)

Whoo hoo!

That's why L and AW had a fight - over whose team you were in. Play a blinder.

famous last words!

(Horrid weather. A pitch of waterlogged mud. A ref so bad Nige is weeping right now and doesn't know why.) I never quite got my run-out, due to a close score (3-5, to us!), but I was fairly good as watergirl ;) Hopefully I'll get another chance eventually...

BTW Did you see any of the weekend's matches. Ugo Monye close up on Nige, head to head and the pair of them smiling. Vute.

n'awww...

Alas, took last week off to study for exams. I'll probably camp out at a pub at least for the Ospreys game this weekend, tho :)
