Belgium 12 - 43 Canada
So, umm. Gosh! Fancy seeing you here! Long time no see...
Many, many things to report from the last mumble mumble months, but as it happens I've recently made a return visit to Heysel for another rugby match. This one was Belgium v. Canada, apparently the first time the two teams have met. There was a much bigger crowd this time round - the stadium was absolutely packed, so much so that it was difficult to see the pitch at times! The weather was pretty miserable, but the atmosphere was great, despite the fact that Belgium took a complete battering (it probably didn't help that the previously mentioned Alan Williams wasn't playing). No punch-ups this time, though, which I think I'm probably supposed to think is a good thing...
We certainly didn't see anything that could match up to this beauty (about 50-odd seconds into the video):
And what do you reckon the chances are that I'll get round to posting about anything else before, say, Christmas? Yes, that's what I thought.
