YC was off on the rugby trail again at the weekend. France were the opponents. After a stirring rendition of La Marseillaise, Scotland took the game to France with first half tries from Seymour and Hogg. But despite leading with 2 minutes to go, Scotland conceded a last minute penalty in front of their posts. France duly kicked it and Scotland had managed to lose 17-19 when it would have been easier to win.
Rev T was suitably down, wishing that he had brought his boots along for a cameo appearance from the subs bench. But after a reviving pint in The Last Drop and then another in The Half Way House, life took on a rosier hue. By the end of the evening, Rev T was eagerly awaiting the call for next weekend's game against Wales at the Millennium Stadium. YC and Emma will be there, cheering on Scotland and Rev T (if selected) from the stands.
