The Hodge Blog

Join the eponymous Hodge and his bunch of fiftysomething mates on a laughter and alcohol fuelled trip to Hong Kong to celebrate his 50th Birthday. Chart their progress through the planning stages, the gruelling flight from the UK, first impressions of HK, success, or failure, at Happy Valley Races and the casinos of Macau, and the special treat that awaits the Birthday Boy. A certain amount of poetic licence may be employed by the authors, so don’t believe everything you read!

Come on England !

Up earlyish this morning in eager anticipation of the England v Scotland Rugby World Cup game, so you might get a little bloggage.

Al will actually be at the England game having popped over to Auckland for it - 'popped over' in the context of a near 11 hour flight of course.

Not sure it will be a high scoring game but I'm keeping the faith and have just backed England to win by 15 points or more.

COME ON ENGLAND !

NB - I note with some amusement that Tonga are 13-6 up at half time against the French. This could be an entertaining morning.

Post Game Update - Well I lost my money but England won the game, just, and Scotland are on the plane home. Bit of a scrappy game but an exciting last 10 minutes, Al must have enjoyed it. England face France in the quarter finals and, judging by their respective performances today, it won't be a classic.
