My rugby newsletter Nov 16 with viewing details

Apologies... for getting this out late. I only got the call from Big Johns at lunchtime and I was nowhere near a computer.

International Matches All times GMT deduct 6 hrs for Houston.
Today, November 16
Wales vs Samoa 19:30 Samoa won quite easily 26-19

Tomorrow Saturday , November 17

Georgia vs Japan.... IRB says 15:00 KO. But fails to state if this is local time or GMT. Could be either. If it is local then KO is -10 hrs which would be 5am here. If 15:00 GMT then KO is 9am here. I'll bet the former. Should be a good game. Japan playing some nice rugby.
Italy vs New Zealand 14:00
Scotland vs South Africa 14:30
England vs Australia 14:30
Ireland A vs Fiji 17:30
USA vs Tonga 18:00 from Wales

Big Johns is located at 6150 Wilcrest, just south of Harwin.

All games will be free again. Big John's owner is picking up the tab for the PPV games coming from Premier Sports.

He is still trying to gauge the interest and enthusiasm level before spending thousands of dollars for 6 Nations.

For what its worth.

There was never more than 15 at any one game last week. The largest contingents were the Aussies and Kiwis, followed by English.

Although I didn't mange to get to pub until Aussie/France game, I am reliably informed that there was no sign of Scots or Irish at all.

So, its not looking as though 6 Nations will be bought. We have time to convince owner that we are a viable group.

Next week I'll have some great news on the women's International sevens being held here in Houston in Feb of next year.

These International 7's tournaments are a great excuse to get dressed up, apply the war paint and knock back a pint (or several).

Becci of BABC fame is on the organizing committee and as soon as IRB give the go ahead, she will be able to announce some unbelievably cheap

sponsorship packages with brilliant perks.

I'll also let you know of a special Scottish Highland Games party on Nov 28. I'd like to say we'll show a repeat of a Scottish rugby game, but the combination of bellowing bagpipes and sloppy Scots rugby might induce a few suicides.

Hope to see some of you out tomorrow.
