Day 2 of the mens competition and what a great showcase yesterday was. Loads of offloads, skip passes, individual skills, and team wonder tries on show and a fantastic crowd. Personally a game every 30 minutes is too bloody slow to watch live, and the highlights were slow, but good for du biere if you were in the stadium I'm sure. Actually last time I was in SdF I couldn't buy a beer... Sarkozy!

Anyway, today we venture into knock out territory, so enjoy folks!

Melrose is a great day out. Only done it once, then I had kids, but great action all day. I attended Murrayfield when it was on the global circuit too, that was a drunken riot, I keep saying London too. Glasgow commonwealth was fantastic too. But the total skillset needed for sevens is so good, there is no hiding at this level!
