Also thanks all for your advice. I did check in on this prior to the game and found it useful. I threw in the comment about 'Youngy' - went down a treat.
Having said that, I lost points for claiming the hairy French guy - Chaval/Chagal was a legend (yes I used that word- I used to be a wanky student sort and it was all the rage) - I say lost points, the Frenchies near me loved it. I told them I was a Tigers fan (in the loosest sense of the word as I don't understand the game) - cue a list of times French sides had beaten the Tigers (quite a few times unless he was repeating them over and over)...
Also - it seems rugby is basically one-upsmanship within the crowd, as soon as the ref makes a decision people start shouting 'OFFSIDE!' or 'Hands in the ruck' and other such meaningless stuff. I didn't see one proper offside - there was only one forward pass and from what I can tell Elvis Hammond and DJ Campbell hadn't made the side.
