Subject: RE: BS: Rugby World Cup
It's time Hard Matchbox, or Mad Munchkin, or whatever her name is, put a sock in it. The weather was wet, but both teams ran it wide, making for an incredibly exiting game, even without the heart-stopping ending. As for 'boring for a neutral spectator', she must be joking - my wife, who is German, nearly had the police visiting she was shrieking so loud with exitement. Let's not fool ourselves that Machacha is neutral anyway - her anti-English bias is so clear that her comments simply seem ludicrous - as a Primary School teacher her comments reminded me of typical grade 3 sour grapes when an enemy wins a prize. Nice one England - God help the Irish when England meet them, whatever the weather. (I'm presuming Macher is Irish from the whingy-whiny mingy carping tone of her comments - but of course she could be a Scot, or a man, or both).
