Have to hand it to the Magners League for coming up with the whole “100 days to go till Grand Final” promotion yesterday…you know, to remind all us Six-Nations-crazed rugby fans that their competition still exists.
Well, they didn’t need to do that to get my bum on a seat at the RDS this weekend…the five points on offer against the Scarlets will come in very handy, and I sincerely hope we can do it. Doesn’t make me feel any less wary about the wisdom of squeezing these matches in during the season’s premier tournament, but what can you do…
And tomorrow night’s rugby evening won’t end at full time in Ballsbridge either. I’ll be heading into town for the #heavensgametweetup…the creator of the famous rugby blog from Down Under, Jeremy Benyon, will be in town and he’ll be meeting up with us mere mortals from the Irish rugby social media world for a beverage or two in the Temple Bar Hotel.
But I hope Mr Benyon won’t object to conceding top billing on the evening to the larger-than-life presence of none other than Mr George Hook, who has all but confirmed attendance via Twitter. Should be an interesting evening, hopefully there will be plenty of stories and pictures to show for it afterwards!
Kudos to Denis Vaughan, aka @inshin, for organising it, very much looking forward. Click the link in the corner there to get more details or even to confirm your attendance.
