I looked at flying out for the match but there wasn't a feasible route given the fact that I was in Israel in March and have an Israeli stamp in my passport.

Wanted to go and see Scotland tour a short while ago and no sensible flights appeared  to be available.

There are no longer any direct flights between the UK and Georgia. Plenty of connecting options usually throughout Europe and Turkey, but none I could fit around work that were realistic and affordable this close to Christmas.

Can never complain about Premiership referring after that headbutt wasn't even penalised...

Yep weird but interesting match. Really need TA to get some motion.

Though it looks almost over at HT.
Not bad weather and pitch. I expected a lot of white.

Continuing in the same vein.

Ah TA waking up. Makes a game of it.

If the first half hadn't been so one sided it could have been a bit more even. Interesting though.

You probably know this but you can apply for a 2nd passport.

For future reference for anyone flying to Israel, the will (or at least did) put a page in the back of your passport and stamp that if you ask according to my colleagues who used to travel there.

I know, but I disagree with the concept of having to pay for a second passport in order to transit through a country I have no inclination to visit (Kuwait in this case). If a country wants to be like that I will take my business elsewhere. Also even if the stamp wasn't an issue I'm not sure if I'd have felt comfortable traveling through Kuwait with an Israeli flag and Rugby shirt in my suitcase.
