A tip for those of you who will be eagerly tuning in; ignore the rugby and focus on the grandstand seats.
A Black Red shirt will be clearly visible along with surely most of the other English RFU clubshirts.

All RFU clubs have been invited to send a clubshirt to be displayed on an empty seat. After the game it is planned to put the shirts on more permanent display;no specific details as yet.

Willy has decided that the number 1 shirt will be on its way by free postage next week. This fulfilled the criteria of being big enough to fill a seat. It also smelt pleasingly of Ralgex and had some crusty areas under the armpits suggesting that its' occupant had put in some hard graft in the front row. The shirt is now approaching vintage status and is featured on the accompanying photo.
That narrows it down a bit, whose shirt is it? Answers by text to Barney , prize is a keg of Harp Lager recently discovered by our stocktaking team. Also tripped over by Bowesie at the back of the cellar is a batch of Holm Cultram Abbey Mead which will be virtually given away on the 21st pending a successful laboratory analysis.
