As husband nr.1 , husband nr. 2 and son were all football addicts, I was forced to watch and " enjoy, nay enthuse" for many years - but the only team I ever really watched was Les Bleus ( french national team) and my son's junior team.

Rugger is definitely more my game - and I think that all professional football teams should be made to play one game of rugger every season, just to show them what a real man's game is like !

Do you mean the French national rugby team? Because if you do, you might need more than a bullet-proof vest!

If it's looks that attracted you to them, then I'm truly baffled, because what could be more appealing than an English rugby scrum of almost any era (I find cauliflower ears quite a turn-on...). I still have a picture of Bill Beaumont (in his magnificent prime, of course) above my bed, and it never did me any harm.

Expect a thorough and well-deserved flaming from Jonny Wilkinson fan club founder member Blondie/Amy.

You should be ashamed of yourself. :lol:

Ok I believe you.

Glad to see it's currently 11-0 to the eggchasing!

No, silly - comment referred to football, ergo Les Bleus = french national side. winners of 98 World Cup and 2000 Euro Cup, with lovely Zinedine Zidane, the best legs and bum in international footie, IMHO !
