Awww just lovely [though I think the little bit right at the end might be from the Arms Park. something about the way they say the O in low]. Have a brilliant day in Caerdydd, Gaerdydd or Ngaerdydd, depending on which way the wind's blowing and the colour of your underwear.

And something in the 'for to' too.

We're there for the whole weekend so I'll bring two colours of undies. :)

Lovely! Ducking because I should know - who is the driver, singing solo?

That is a song I love anyhow. I have several versions on ipod already, including one by UB40.

But this has a particular man sort of sweetness that I can't seem to really define.

Two questions-- what are the bathtubs about? (Not that I am complaining, it reminds me of 'The philharmonic gets dressed,'

Also what is this about Wales and underwear?

That's the post match ice baths the players take. Messrs Brown, Palmer and Botha taking them.

Sweet Chariot is the England rugby song. Wonderful to hear the crowd singing it.

No idea what Elin meant about Wales and undies.

Is that to soothe sore muscles? They are so brave. Most men whine terribly about immersion in cold water!

It reminded me a little of the erection trouble commercials they have here, where everyone is sitting in bathtubs. i am sure that was not the image that these young men wanted to give!

LOL We don't have those. Rugby players are hard men. They sneer at ice baths.
