Infamous and Ralph stop this talk, we are not in any finals or play offs yet, the "Sporting Gods" frown on this talk, we had our hotels booked for the after party victory last year.
I am not superstitious but me lucky underpants are on the dresser ready to be donned 33 mins before kick off and the tv is sound is set at 9 and nobody can wear socks until after the match.
Some years ago at a function where Keith Wood was speaking he was introduced as the greatest hooker ever to play rugby before I asked was Keiron in the building, he overheard this and made reference to his admiration for RL and Kez. His then manager told the story of Keith being on the Lions tour and preparing for a match, he is a religious man, part of his preparation was to have a quiet prayer to himself using a certain set of rosary beads, his locker had a scapula of Padre Pio and miraculous medals were placed in his boots just before kick-off. For such an aggressive player one of the Lions assistant coaches expressed suprise saying he did not believe religion was part of sporting outcomes, Woody said " horse shoes, religious statues or lucky charms" he did not believe in either, the assistant asked then why did he have these said items, Keith replied " everyone buffoon knows these are inanimate objects and do not affect results, but a few wise people know that they work whether you believe in them or not"
