Can you imagine the strength it takes in those legs to pull off such a feat?<br /><br />Yes, that heron is amazing!<br /><br />As for the rugby game, it looks and sounds pretty much like our boring old football - a bunch of grown man falling all over each other trying to catch A BALL.<br /><br />A BALL. It staggers the imagination.<br /><br />Although I did quite enjoy the little dance (questionably a dance) that opened the game. The fear of God? I don't think so. It very much reminded me of a country line dance done by some very tipsy guests at my neice-in-law's wedding.<br /><br />Your avian visitors are rather impressive.

When he retired from rugby he was team captain on a UK television show called "A question of Sport". His opposing captain was Emlyn Huges, a footballer who played for Liverpool and England. It was highly entertaining.<br />There are many more glorious Gareth Edward tries on You Tube including a solo try for Wales when he ran the full length of the field to score in the corner.Eddie Bluelightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069024660422117718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-38137911810962078062011-02-21T02:08:25.826+00:002011-02-21T02:08:25.826+00:00I might not exactly be rich but I wouldn't min...I might not exactly be rich but I wouldn't mind a dollar for every time I've seen that try - and I actually remember seeing it for the first time because it was on my birthday, the year before I moved to NZ, and I was trying desperately to understand why my husband thought I'd be happy to get up in the middle of the night (on my birthday no less) to watch a rugby game. <br />However, I do admit, having learnt to appreciate the game after living in NZ, I was a bit overawed when I actually met the great Gareth Edwards. I found him a lot more charming than his great opponent, Sid Going.MJKJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297397305628249338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-90814018294559364352011-02-21T00:22:58.044+00:002011-02-21T00:22:58.044+00:00Wow.
