oh, Canada

I went over to the Millennium Stadium on Friday night to watch Wales play Canada. Unless you book months and years in advance, or you're a member of a rugby club that has some sort of block allocation, or you shell out a million pounds for a season ticket, it will tend to be only these kind of games against relatively minor (no disrespect to Canada) opposition that you'll be able to get in to see. The flipside of that is that at least these are matches you can reasonably confidently expect Wales to win.

Friday's match was no exception to this rule, but it wasn't a particularly thrilling game. Possibly the most exciting moment was the unveiling of the new change strip, which is a particularly migraine-inducing shade of banana yellow. This is apparently to fit in with the SA Gold sponsor's branding on the front, and is in no way an attempt to screw some more merchandising cash out of the gullible supporter.

A couple of pictures (of no great quality as they were snapped with my mobile phone) can be seen below.
