The World Cup in Rubgy!

Middleford RC have made a proposal to the Rugby Football Union to host the World Cup. The letter was written on a tablecloth from The Black Swan signed by no less than the captain in the team Mr Oswald. The reason given for hosting the World Cup was the lack of tweed tasting ale and railway system in France. In some blurry handwriting one could transcript the word garlic and snails but not the whole sentence. Mr Oswald was very pleased with the idea and in a state of joy that only Stoffton Brewerys ale can give you he sent it away with the mailman.

The RFU has in their answer to Middleford RC written as follow:

“ Dear sirs!

Firstly we would like to thank you for your letter. We are not sure we understood everything you mentioned in your letter but can insure that we have no intentions stealing your best players for a tournament we have not heard of nor did know existed. We will take the proposal in consideration but think that Middelford is a bit to small to host a tournament of large scale taking in consideration that you sent the same invitation to France, Germany, Italy and some other countries we have not heard of.

We did not taste your cloth but it was a bit damp and we can insure that it smelled like tweed we don’t really understand why but it kind of made sense to the rest of the letter.

We do appreciate your effort but must decline your proposal

Regards

Mr Farnham

P.S. Where on earth are Mombunu and does Sweden really have a rugby team?”
