Out of a combination of boredom and disgust I decided to google rsru for
today's date 10 years ago (1996 Dully). It made for interesting
reading. I widened the dates and looked at February. Even more
interesting. Even some deja vu in places - maybe it just seemed as
though I'd been there before.

I reccommend the exercise to our current list.

I think I joined up around August, so I can't imagine it would be worth
reading.

Still, there's Rhodri Howell (didn't he do the original FAQ?), Ben
Clegg, Ceri Griffiths, Paul (Sheds) Dutton giving the Welsh a hard time
as usual, Gerald Copp, Paul Kendall, Paul Bickerstaff of the original
Idaho Uni rugby list, Nigel Evans being relatively civilised even, Koos
(as Ferdi was known in those days), dear old Bill Taylor (come back
Bill!), Tim Fry, William A T Clark not complaining about spoilers
because everyone was frightfully civilised in those days -- even Koos,
Daniel Claassen, Elizabeth Goldenburg, some fucking left wing idiot
called Daryl Johnson whom I vaguely recall, Paul Waite, F. Jacot
Guillarmod ... God I feel old.

I was quiet that day, but, somewhat uncharacteristically, posted a set
of tables on 22 April 1996...

And it seems in 1995 I was saying the League structure in England was
great and would not lead to more boring rugby in England.

I'll get me coat.
