Just back from the Basford Tour, I decided to have a look and see whats been happening around the rugby world.
1st port of call as usual, the Letchworth blog run by JB.
This site is fast becoming the place to stop and pass away the time.
The site is getting bigger and better each time I look, and now JB has somehow put the link in to show how people are hitting the site from all over the world.
Girls forget the club rivalry on the pitch, have a look at this site and be amazed at the news available regarding the sport.

Invasion is imminent!!!!!!
Our spies have fed back information that those northeners have got wind of the planned invasion from the South and are readying their air support in preparation.
Photos obtained by our brave undercover team show them swooping on unsuspecting villagers over t border in lancashire. The team only escaped the airborne assault by wearing cow pats on their heads which from the skies gave the impression of a flat cap as worn by t Yorkshire folk.
Tips on avoiding detection by t northern folk
Your name is Bert or Ethel not Shaz or Trace
Do not wear white shoes and burberry hats in public
If engaged in conversation with a northerner do not say things such as "my Chardonnay wants to be a hairdresser when she grows up"
If discovered a couple of quick phrases to get you out of trouble
a)Reet grand tha knows
b)Eh Up hows thee fathers wippet
c)Geoff Boycott is God
Be Vigilant

Herts Rugby
Last Sunday Welwyn RFC hosted a 3 way County U15 Development fixture involving Herts, Kent and Middlesex.
The U15 fixture was organised on a Regional Training Date to give the 'next tier' of Players the opportunity to gain experience representing the County.
This excellent scheme to promote girls rugby and to keep all those girls who this season were not selected for their regional squads was the brain child of Peter McCullough at Welwyn.
Peter very kindly invited over 2 of the Essex girls who were not involved at Regional and following an email on sunday night, we are pleased to say that both Amy and Mouse had a very good day.
Mouse was played as a scrum half and the report back from Peter was that she played really well.
Amy who is in her 1st season of rugby has already began to shine and has been a welcome addition to the Basford front row this season.
Well done to both girls and a big thanks to Peter for including them in the days programme.
