A flash in the pan or.............?

Today, Moog & I went to Twickenham to watch England beat South Africa 23 - 21 in a tense, scrappy, less than impressive match, but one which despite all this England won, thereby ending a string of seven defeats. It was a great day, and the enlarged Twickenham is even more impressive than before, and was attended by a crowd of 80,000+ fans.

Whether or not England deserved to win is open to question, but the defining moment in the game is shown below. Josh Lewsey ran the length of the pitch to catch and tackle Jean de Villiers with a thundering "hit" which sent him flying into touch inches from the try line.


Formula for successful day:

Twickenham + Swing Low Sweet Chariot + National Anthem + Moog + double sausage baguette + beer + Josh Lewsey + England victory = Happiness
