Last weekend I watched my rugby team, Cambridge, play Birmingham. We are in National League 2, so have some pretty mighty opposition. Birmingham, we learned are the only professional team in the league, where every single one of their team are full-time rugby players. Whilst most of the Cambridge side receive some form of payment, they all hold down other jobs. My first reaction was that we would be slaughtered, and certainly when the score was 21-0 after 20 mins, the debate was whether we would lose 100-0. However, with 10 minutes to go, we were 33-29 down, and suddenly realised we might even win. It was a thrilling match, and I have a feeling Birmingham felt lucky to escape with a victory.

In Rugby I have always found the best games are when the final scores are not far apart, even if they are very low scores. Sounded like a good game.
I am of the old school in that it matters not who won or lost, provided it was a good game and the best team won.The bonus is if it is your team.
