ENGLAND take on New Zealand down under on June 14th and 21st. Both games kick off on Saturday mornings at 8am and Johnners is up for a spot of brekkie if anyone’s interested.
Sat June 14th could turn into a bit of a rugby fest, with Eng v NZ at 8am followed at Aus. v Ire at 10-30am and South Africa v Wales at 1-30pm.
Club honours, colours and man of the century will be awarded to anyone still standing at 7pm that night for England Saxons v Ireland A.
Usual suspects can expect an e-mail from Johnners soon-ish about the catering. Just DON’T turn up at 7-55am, expect to be fed and then sit down in the best seat in the house. If you want scoff, get there early!
If you’re not on Johnners’ e-mail list, contact me, Paddy Mulchrone, on patrickmulchrone@hotmail.com and I’ll pass your inquiry on to the chef.

The Cheshire RFU has written to all clubs in the county, voicing their concern about the behaviour of some spectators and parents on the touchline.
Secretary Peter Rhodes says: “The executive committee is concerned at the decline in behaviour of some spectators and parents attending games and wish to support the efforts of the RFU in encouraging better behaviour.
“With this in mind, the committee has requested that next year all Cheshire Clubs put a notice in their programme setting out the RFU code of conduct.”
The spectator and parent code of conduct urges everyone on the touchline to:
* Show respect for officials and other players
*Encourage in your support
*Be courteous to all
*Applaud good play
*Verbally support in a proactive manner
*Remember victory is not everything
*Children are playing for their own enjoyment
*Enjoy the day and transmit that enthusiasm to the players
And on the other hand it adds:
*Do not force your child to play
*Do not stray onto the pitch at any time
*Do not verbally abuse match officials – remember, they are volunteers
*Do not verbally abuse players or other spectators
*Do not use bad language
*Do not threaten or intimidate
*Do not become involved in physical aggression
*Do not to anything which is likely to offend by ay of insult, humiliation or discrimination
