A momentous occasion, I feel, is occuring on Sunday, at 1 o'clock GMT.

As most of you probably know, I play rugby. On Sunday, my team will have its first game this season. However, due to injuries to my neck and knees, exhaustion and weather disruption I have only been at 5 training sessions in 6 months, not the way to enter a game.

Unfit and underprepared, I am facing the top team in the area in what is likely to be 80 minutes of pure dominance from them, and you know what? I'm gonna enjoy it. I've been praying that a game falls on a date where I am fit, and despite my rib injury scare from earliar in the week, I'm ready to rock and roll.
