Rugby World Cup
During the last Football World Cup the PO planned
a special miniature sheet in case we won, which of course we didn't. We have now won the Rugby World Cup. A magnificent result and achievement, but sadly there are NO plans to commemorate this victory. For once they are not going to fleece the philatelist. -- Tony Clayton or Coins of the UK : http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/coins.html Values of Coins of the UK : http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/values/coins.html Metals used in Coins : http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/metal.html Sent using RISC OS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC .... Life. Hate it, or ignore it. You can't like it. |

May I congratulate your country on a magnificent win.
They were indeed the best team on the day, and the entire series was played in admirable spirit, a fine advertisement for the game in general. I was kicking the footy around with my son this arvo, (Aussie Rules) and there were 3 little tackers, placing a ball on mounds of sand clasping their hands together in the Jonny style, and kicking goals (in their imagination) Rugby has come to the suburbs! -- (Remove gum to reply) "tony" wrote in message ... | During the last Football World Cup the PO planned | a special miniature sheet in case we won, which | of course we didn't. | | We have now won the Rugby World Cup.

Perhaps the PO were afraid that they might have got the wrong team.
With England,Scotland and Wales in the running perhaps it would have been too expensive ( or politically embarrassing ) to consider. For me its academic anyway I'm a League not a Union man ( non-Rugby playing nationals switch off at this point) I would agree though that Rugby world-wide is the winner - and none of that horrible violence which accompanies soccer matches in this country!!
