So following from last time England roused themselves after a 0-36 beating by the Bokke and beat/were assisted by the officials/cheated/skillfully defeated Samoa, Tonga, Australia and France to find themselves up against the Bokke who beat them 6-15 the second time around. Which means the Sais will not be going on and on and on about the Rugby World Cup for another 4 years. France had their own mini final in beating New Zealand in Cardiff.




So my choice of team of the Coupe Du Monde.




15 Percy Montgomery - South Africa


14 Delasau - Fiji


13 Jacques Fourie - South Africa


12 Yannick Jauzion - France


11 Bryan Habana - South Africa


10 Juan Martin Hernandez - Argentina


9 Fourie Du Preez - South Africa


8 Isotalo Mika - Tonga


7 Thierry Dusatoir - France


6 Schalke Burger - South Africa


5. Victor Matfield - South Africa


4. Simon Shaw - England


3. CJ Van der Linde - South Africa


2 John Smit - South Africa


1 Pablo Roncero - Argentina




Meanwhile in the US the final did make the NYT but the World Series is underway and Boston lead 1-0 we shall see

Time has moved on and we went back to Llandysul for Uncle Walter's memorial at St Tysul's church which included a fundraiser for the organ. We saw and heard from the organist at the Royal Chelsea and Prince Charles Harpist and the local waffle manufacturer Kuys Huysman who is fluent in Welsh, English and Dutch.
Here are some photo's otherwise life moves on apace. We visited Aberaeron on the way home.
Now there is a place for when I win the lotto or not as the case may be.

The Rugby World Cup and Wales and less suprisingly Ireland were eliminated but more on this next time.
