THE LAST DITCH
A day off from politics. I am the guest of an old friend at this Heineken Cup match, having flown in from Moscow yesterday and driven Vittoria down from Chester to Swansea this morning. It was a beautiful drive on winding Welsh roads. Here's hoping for a match that's half as much fun.
