Australia 10, England 4. Come on England.

Hello Radio Jem and all rugby fans, I hope to pop in some of the games.Take care all XX

Final score, Australia 18-England 4 :-( Friend came so missed 2nd half.
Hope to see you all next match :-)

Good Morning Everyone :-D <3

Hi Hilary <3
Thank You for reminding us that the Rugby League World Cup has begun.
I'm really sorry gang that I have not been able to cover this :-(

Apart from the fact that I know virtually nothing about Rugby League, I am now a full time carer for my seriously disabled 18 year old Grandson who has severe Dissociative Attack Disorder. He needs round the clock care for violent convulsions, seizures and black outs etc. And as he is now a strapping 6foot 2inch young man you can imagine how difficult it can be.
I am also caring for my husband with Lung Disease and other health issues, therefore as you can appreciate, I now have very limited time for myself.

I am hoping to be able to enjoy some of the Rugby Union Autumn Internationals with you all as and when I can. I am really hoping that the Gang will still enjoy the Autumn Season together on this thread. <3

I hope you are all happy and well or coping
Lots of Love to you all, Jem <3 <3 <3

RUGBY UNION AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS 2017

Due to very difficult family problems I will not be able to cover the Autumn Series with the same intensity as in previous seasons / competitions. Also, we now do not have Sky Sports, so I will be further limited with giving a commentary.

I will try to be here when I can, even if it's only to cheer the teams :-D


WEEK 1 STARTS THIS SATURDAY (November 4th)
But I doubt there will be following for these games due to the time factor and the lack of coverage on regular TV channels.

Here are the scheduled games just in case you are a die-hard rugby union fan

Game 1:
JAPAN v AUSTRALIA .... Kick Off 5.40am (UK Time)
I Cannot find any TV coverage on UK TV channels

Hello Jem

Can't believe it's Rugby Union time again! I fully understand how busy you are right now (I know that feeling) but family must always come first every time. We don't have the SKY package either but I hope to pop in and share the usual banter if possible. Take care everyone. xx

Morning everyone, just come in from shopping, looks like England have their mojo back. Half time, England 22- Lebanon 6. :-)

28-6 to England. Doing a twirl. :-D

Not a brilliant match but we won, 29-10.

Hope all ok with everyone.x
