Disease spreads through tour party

It's a tough place, Nigeria. Only suitable for those with a hardy constitution.

Some of us have fallen foul of local disease, and this is a short who's who of those weak souls.

1. Jim, 2. Bankie, and 3. Ritchie all have stomach bugs due to over-indulgence on local produce.
4. Femi and 5. Chu-Chu both have chronic TB.
6. Will King has groin strain.
7. Following a knock on the head, Junior has amnesia and frequently forgets which team he plays for.

This left us with just 14 men to play the 10's tournament. Report to follow.

The Eagle has Landed

It began with all of LNRFC meeting at the airtport at 7pm prompt. (ahem). Nobody missed the plane. A very promising start. Sporting our new Virgin Nigeria tour tops we were taken through a personalised check in and fastracked through customs thanks to our sponsors, Virgin Nigeria.

A comfortable flight ( more comfortable for Junior who, as President of Nigeria, was promoted to first class), was followed by the immediate chaos of Lagos. We got to our hotel after 3hrs of creative driving across pavements, off-roading, and fording rivers. Brilliant. The illustrious Ambassador hotel greeted us warmly.

The night may or may not have involved heavy drinking. It's hard to remember.
