Best Matches in a While

This last weekend, two of the best rugby matches I have seen in a while were on the tube. Both matches contained 80 minutes of non-stop battling for their respective championships, and the outcome of both matches was in doubt until the 78th minute. The matches were the finals of the Guinness Premiership (London Wasps V. Leichester (sp.)Tigers) and the Super 14 (Canterbury Crusaders V. New South Wales Waratahs)

Thanks to the magic of Tivo, I was able to watch both matches at a reasonable hour, instead of waking up at 3am. Below you will find a some video snippets:





The Setanta network is playing reruns of the matches, so if you have the chance, take a look, it'll be time well spent.

For folks new to fly tying, this one is super easy, and is really good for a dry/dropper rig as it will hold up a nymph quite well.



Tight lines,
