Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind, lyffli boys ;-)

I didn't think France were too tidy either. Of the four teams so far, I was most surprised by Italy. They get better and better.

Think tomorrow may be best game. Scotland are no roll-over. :-) :-)

and there's me thinking you must be Greek!

No, Kuros was the name of next door's cat who walked over the keyboard when I was thinking of a name to use on here. That was ten years ago and the cat's long since gone.
I'm Glamorgan born and bred and proud of it, although I do have some lovely Greek friends on the island of Zakynthos.
