Bragging rights!

At least for the moment.

Whose team are the only English representatives in the Heineken Cup quarter finals? Oh look, it's mine. The team I've supported for 40 years. My Sarries...

I say! Well done!

And oh look, Edinburgh are through too, with a home advantage :)

I was shouting for them - Edinburgh, I mean. Their performance made a big difference to us (I didn't want it to be sarries vs Toulouse.)

Edinburgh have done remarkably well this season, considering their lack of stellar names.

I know nothing about your sport but I cheer your joy, and use the icon with MY best-beloved team's baseball cap to show my fellow feeling.

Thank you for the cheer. Is that a Boston RedSox hat I spy?

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it is! I have been a fan since 1975, and I'm a third-generation fan at that. My grandfather was alive for the 1918 win, and my father is still living, so my family can claim FOUR generations to see a World Series victory! We didn't have a cable subscription in 2004, so we brought our then-nine-year-old with us to a bar/restaurant, knowing that if it happened, we would not be forgiven if someone didn't get to see it.

Wonderful. We love Boston and are sort-of-redsox fans by association.

I know nothing about her sport either-- but that she is as loyal and true as any Red Socks fan!

I have a penchant for the RedSox, too, as we love Boston. And yes, true blue dyed in the wool Sarries through and through. Nothing to do with how cute Owen Farrell is.

Go them!

Yep. Long may the Fezheads rule!
