Oh, what a Splenid Notion!
Here is something for you to do, writes brother Julian via a posting, You now have time...just (Nov 2007 comes soon) to write the definitive feel good Welsh Rugby Novelette. Weekly instalments.
We know the ending in Paris, but that doesn't spoil the story...
The plot will involve some of the following: The return of a disgraced coach at the last minute, poisoning of the team the night before the S African game, necessitating the call up of Gareth Edwards, the discovery of an totally unknown teenage sensation from a hippy commune in North wales who can kick goals from 80 yards, corruption and betrayal in the WRU, sexual intrigue and blackmail involving someone who once coached Wales, a homosexual scandal involving the semi-final referee, and the arch villain a fictional Englsih fly-half who everybody thinks is the perfect individual but is in fact an evil plotter who has to be exposed as such and only an obscure primary school teacher in Cowbridge knows this, but nobody takes him seriously. Will he manage to convince them before kick off.....
Bludi Hell! What a stormer! I claim copyright on this so Its Mine All Mine!
Ta!

I think another Wil beat you to that plot - different surname to yours though - Shakespeare. He called it Much Ado About Nothing (I think) but - good news - as he is getting on in years I am sure he would be prepared to waive his copyright on the plot.
Wilbach says - i was once cautioned on Rover Way for waiving MY copyright. It was in about 1989 having been to the New Ocean Club. Ah well.
