Please Leave All Unfounded Optimism at the Door

[netgirl_y2k]

Decided at the last minute to go through to Edinburgh to see Scotland's first warm up game for the rugby world cup against Ireland. We won. Just. I am still not vastly optimistic for our chances in the world cup - well, not unless they decide to move our try line five meters up the field - especially seeing as we're in the same group as England, who looked discouragingly good in the highlights that I saw. Although I don't understand why they're suddenly playing in black strips, unless part of the plan is to freak out the opposition by looking like the New Zealand All Blacks from a distance. Wish we'd thought of that.
