Also im not a fan of England, its Scotland
Sorry Matt, but I watched the game twice and with some British friends who used to play rugby, I don't want to discuss about the referee's behaviour, he had eyes only for the Pumas, but not a single warning for any Bok, which play wonderfully but they behaved in an awful way. I do not share what you are saying about Felipe, I know quite well him and his family, he is a wonderful man and a future doctor who wants to work with needy children in Africa or here in South America, and he always behaves in the field and off it as gentleman. He had been provoked by Habana and others almost all the time, when he reacted was because he had reached his limit, one South African hit him strongly in his back, we watched that and we had spoken with his mother afterwards and she told us the same. In "La Nacion" from Buenos Aires he described the incident very carefully and with lots of details, incident that had been utterly ignored by the referee, who according with a French Catholic newspaper "La Croix" was extremely partial. Please apologize me I did not want to be rude about your Scottish nationality, I am aware that many Scots want independence of England, which is quite understandable. My second great grand father Thomas Bruce Leigthon was born in Scotland and one of my other great grand mothers, Ann Marie Douglas Graham was Scot from top to bottom. I love Scotland and the Scots, especially Sean Lamont, but I am too old for him (some eight years I believe, perhaps one of my nieces will be suitable for him, just a joke, but who knows, see you if possible this spring in Scotland, where as I said our whole family will stay for two weeks
