Richard’s Grogg Blogg Update Aug
Just a quick catch up on our busy weekend. Wow – what a game on Saturday! I was pretty confident about Wales’ chances but the game was truly extraordinary. It reminded me of the Famous ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ when Muhammad Ali soaked up George Foreman’s relentless punishment for 8 rounds only to turn it around right at the end when Foreman was literally ‘punched out’. Congratulations to all the players and ‘Captain Sam’ especially. The only down side is the rising injury list – Morgan Stoddart last week and now Matthew Rees and Gavin Henson who was looking very sharp, our sympathies go to them all – they will be missed, however I think, all in all we should feel much more confident about our chances in the ‘Group of Death’.
Jan Gethin, Richard and Rugby Writer Carolyn Hitt. I know what I’m getting Rich this Christmas! – Richard thoroughly enjoying the game!
Richard’s unique Frosted Beard Grogg – Richard and Richard
Our display at the International Players Bar in the Millennium Stadium
Many thanks to the WRU for their kind invitation – Dad and I will get used to being spoiled. The Grogg news on the day was involving a permenant display in the newly refurbished International Players Bar at the Millennium Stadium which includes over 50 Grogg figures. We also had chance to finally catch up with Man of the Moment, Richard Parks, who was the Guest of Honour. We took the opportunity to present ‘Parksy’ with a unique ‘frosty bearded’ 737 Grogg which he was delighted with. On new Grogg news the ‘Man In Black’ Sam Warburton is sold out – but I have started work on a Mini Sam and have almost completed the other ‘magnificent 7’ in Mini Richie McCaw!
On the Club front two Ponty Mini’s are also taking shape in Dafydd Lockyer and Wayne O’Connor who I think will make great Groggs.
Meanwhile I can’t wait for the Argentina game on Saturday – woo hoo!
Cheers for now Richard
