Email from John my brother. A story about Rugby, Wales and England.
A meteorite strike on Twickenham during the six nation, prior to the England Wales match, killing both Steve Hansen & Clive Woodwood. They both ascend to heaven and are met by the boss.
"Welcome Gentlemen" says God," Allow me to show you to your accommodation."
He takes Clive for a short walk through the beautiful countryside to a lovely little cottage. The thatch roof forms a St. George's Cross, the bees in the garden gently hum 'Sweet Chariot' and beside the path are Groggs of David Duckham & Jerry Gusgott.
"Gosh, lord, I don't know what to say!" says Clive, and goes inside.
While checking the kitchen, he glances out of the window and up the hill, to see a glorious stately mansion. The huge lawn is covered in daffodils, and giant leeks grow in the veg plot! Dragons fly from the battlements, and fifteen-foot golden statues of Gareth Edwards, Barry John, Ieuan Evans and Rob Howley stand guard over a colossal flower bed of prize roses spelling out 'Cymru am Byth'
Going back outside, Clive says to God:" Lord, I'm deeply honoured, but I have to ask - how come Steve Hansen's house is so much...well... nicer?"
God laughs and puts a consoling arm around Clive's shoulder.
"There, there, Clive!" Says God,"That's not Steve's house - it's mine!"
