Last Saturday Natalie and I visited our good friend Jo, who lives out at Reading. As part of our visit we all went along to watch London Irish play the Newcastle Falcons in the local rugby competition. The Newcastle team featured former Wallaby, Matthew Burke and Wallaby nemesis, Johnny Wilkinson. There were also several other England representatives in the two sides.
Unfortunately Burkey didn't play his best and lo-and-behold Johnny Wilkinson got injured (which seems to be all he can do since he single-handedly won the last Rugby World Cup for England.
There was some good rugby played though the game overall wasn't great, with the Irish always looking like comfortable winners.
But that didn't spoil it. It was a fine, sunny day and the stadium was nice and the company even better.
