Aussie fans are less keen, though. It's fine if you live in Brisbane, but it's a big country...

Two points:

• Shouldn't there be a translator with Beaumont? I think I get the general drift, but could understand it better if he spoke English.

• Whoever writes these things must be paid by the word. I keep thinking I've jumped back up the page: "I just read that 15 seconds ago???"

If they move Magic to a different weekend they have to be careful . They moved it to February one year in Cardiff was the most miserable weekend ever . Freezing cold no banter in or outside the pubs . Everybody went back to their hotels after the matches . Such a soulless weekend . I believe it was Jammie Peacock amongst others who championed it as a good idea

Funny, that. My memory is terrible, but I do recall I enjoyed very much going to the CCFs in Cardiff (I lived not far away back then). But I don't have any recall of Magic weekends? I see Wigan were tanked by Saints twice. Was I there? Have I blanked the memory? Who knows? :lol:
