Despite my half English blood through having a Kent born Mother ...

Sorry my English Friends- I am in the Black and White of the Baa-baas today!

Players in this fabulous team are INVITED to play from all corners of the rugby playing world.

They not only have had to have been great players .... but must have been proven honorable and their characters without blemish.

They play in Black and White but wear the socks of their own Clubs / Country.

I think it's a brill idea! :-D :-D :-D :-D <3
