    "Jared from Leftbridge, Canada said the terrible weather was making him feel at home. He certainly seemed intent on enjoying the occasion come what may. 

    "It's cleared up a fair bit now so hopefully the pitch will stand up to it, otherwise it might be more error-strewn than free-flowing.

    "He's looking pretty stylish, there's no denying. Love the slippers."

    "I am expecting this to be a lot of fun, and was anticipating a no-fear, gung-ho approach resulting in more running rugby than you could shake a stick at - and loads and loads of tries. But the weather could scupper that.

    "It has been hammering it down in Leicester and it's looking unpredictable for the rest of the afternoon. There was rain of biblical proportions as I made my way to the stadium with my ever-impeccable sense of bad timing. But the sun has been out in the last 30 minutes so fingers crossed."
