Yes I know this sounds unbelievable but you can actually watch Rhinos here in sunny Spain!

OK. So the Rhinos in question have 2 legs,  there’s 13 of them and they charge into one another like the real thing. I am of course talking about the Leeds Rhinos, who won the Super League Grand Final last night after beating St Helens 24-16. We had a fiesta here at my cortijo with some friends and my daughter.

Explaining the rules of the game to JorgeRather too many local shots were consumed prior to the game, but this made for a very merry atmosphere. Have you ever tried to explain the game of Rugby League in a foreign language whilst being thoroughly intoxicated?

This was followed by a traditional spanish curry and chips, which in time honoured fashion, I proceeded to dribble all the way down my prize Rhinos replica shirt (sad eh?), to join and mix with the red wine and absinthe stains.

I watched a reply of the game this morning just in case I was either dreaming or had passed out and missed most of the action. No, we still won it!
