rugby (not skytower)

Bristol 15-9 Sale

I finally made it to my first Bristol Rugby game of the season last night. It was pretty old-school affair against Sale - the rain persisted down all game making handling tricky, confining the ball to the forwards which worked to Bris' benefit in the end. Plenty of catching and driving from lineouts. Not a try in sight - though Bris' should have scored during a period of extended possession and territory soon after half-time. In the end it was a battle of the kickers, and our new Kiwi man (after a dodgy start) kicked us to victory!

So then it was off to the pub to dry off with a couple of pints of Badger and Fursty Ferret in the excellent Upton Inn... Quality.
