The Bloodied 10 Shirt

The more observant of those cold and lonely souls who occasionally check this page will notice a slight picture change. That well known 'rugger bugger', Mrs Mona Lisa, has been replaced by a photo I found on my  computer from last year.

I remember the match like it was yesterday. In the first knock-out round of the Crabos championship versus Toulon. A hugely satisfying game, played on a lovely pitch, baking under the Villanche-sur-Saone sunshine, with a raucous crowd along one side. We played such wonderful rugby that the Toulon fans felt the need to jump the barrier and invade the pitch when there ensued a huge fight that spilled into the first few rows of the stand.

Perhaps that's how the blood ended up on the back of the shirt. The irony, is of course, that for that match, it wasn't my shirt. Still, nice picture all the same.
