This is an advert, but well worth watching. Thanks to Ben for giving me a good dose of nostalgia.
A few days ago I said that my impossible dream was to play rugby for England – something I clearly will never do. Andrew Trimble, a student at Belfast Bible College, has done something almost as good as play for England – he plays rugby for Ireland. This six minute video shows Andrew contrasting the […]
Positively the last post on the Rugby World Cup (unless I get sent more good pictures!)
No one wants to play in third place play-offs! France and Argentina, losing semi-finalists in the rugby world cup, went head to head tonight in the game that no one wants to play in.

However, I’ve never claimed to be elegant, so I’m going to gloat anyway! Secondly, I stole this story from Ben Witherington’s blog. Mama’s Bible Four brothers left home for […]
