England v France rugby (again)

[joeluke]

Why is it that every time England score or go close the BBC have to show Prince Harry's reaction?

Dodn't realise him and his party were the only England fans at the game

[joggerjayne]

Yes, they did spend a lot of time zooming in on Prince Hewitt.

[joggerjayne]

Harry. I meant Prince Harry.

[bibblebub]

brown-nosing of the top order

[boxtops]

They showed quite a few other people as well - I didn't notice that they prioritised him. Interesting to see then, if they do the same to Princess Anne today.

[bibblebub]

they always show her too

[joggerjayne]

Where is Princess Anne going ?

[theshedman]

Maybe it was to do with his cousin Zara sat next to him as her boyfriend is the England captain.

[boxtops]

She always goes to the Scotland rugby, jj.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, thanks Boxy.

I wonder why the Duke of Edinburgh doesn't go to watch Scotland ?

[boxtops]

I don't know whether he ever did. He's 90 this year, probably too chilly to sit around!

[joggerjayne]

He could sit in a bath chair at the front, where the wheelchair spectators sit.

[boxtops]

It's in Scotland too, he'd have to spend shedloads using the Royal Train to get there, and the Royals don't decamp to Balmoral under the summer.

[joggerjayne]

Well, I think that's a poor show.

Maybe he supports Greece instead.

Do they play rugby?

[vauny]

Why is this question in this section ? The minority egg chasers have their own section

[boxtops]

'cos it developed, vauny - and "sport" is a headline for all sports, it can either be here or in Rugby. Rugby's just rugby, this one might cover anything else we choose to womble on to.

[joggerjayne]

"egg chasers"

Aww, I think rugby is a jolly game. All the people who watch it in the pub are really nice.

[jedimistress]

That was bugging me watching the shots of him all the time. Prince Phillip prefers a sport where he can kill anything that moves.

[jedimistress]

Why should you have to wear something? I went to see France a few times, and the french were mainly dressed in their Sunday best, not shrouded in replica shirts and things. I think some supporters items, mainly replica shirts etc can be quite tacky.
