Most of my friends in Colchester are into rugby in a big way. Now, unlike football, I don’t mind rugby and they’ve slowly been teaching me the rules (still got a long way to go on that one). Anyway, since they all go out sporting their countries rugby tops (we’ve got English, Australian and South African contingents among my friends) I decided I would join in. That said quite a few football fans also tend to wear England rugby tops during the world cup and to be honest their behavior is despicable. Rather than possibly get lumped in with that crowd I’ve gone out on a limb and asked my dad to get me a Bajan Blues (thats the Barbados nation team… and no, I didn’t realise they had one either ) top. Now I can go to games wearing a rugby top and I don’t have to worry about getting grief off anyone. It’s not like we’re† going to win anything is it?

†My father was born in Barbados and most of his family still live there so I can, and do, claim Bajan heritage and colonial roots.
