I went to the Stoop on Saturday to watch one of the most exciting matches I have seen as Harlequins managed to win deep beyond injury time. And, though I cannot quite be seen, I was just to the right of the image above, behind the post when the final drop goal went over. It was great.
What was doubly great was also the sheer joy of having a civilised night out at a contact sport. A minor fight on the pitch aside (when gloriously, the PA played Give Peace a chance), it was done in great spirit and I watched lots of big (and by the end drunk) men cheerfully cheer Frenchmen waving their flags when they were ahead, and the French similarly gracious in defeat.
So, hurrah for middle class sport and down with Association Football.
