Perp2006 was a magical trip. Until 30th Dec 2005, I wasn't even going even though my friends had booked flights and hotel accommodation. I opened up a present on my birthday and discovered a flight booking and hotel booking - quelle surprise !!

My stunning wife had contacted my mates, got the flight and hotel info and booked me on the same trip !!

Still chuckle about the whole 4 days to this day - le petit bus, ou est le singe, Wire Womans Magic, Cappy, making the French Sunday paper, Silverwood in Wires baseball cap, Simon Moran and on and on and on


I booked myself for 2007, ruptured my achilles, couldn't go and lost my air fare - cheers Ryan Air !!

I have a copy of that paper somewhere with me and my mates on it....fantastic memories!

You are Tyler Duerden and I claim my £5.

Perpigan 06 was fantastic. Me and the wife flew to Toulouse and then got the train from there. Managed to get here to believe that Tolouse was the canine capital of Europe as an explanation as to why there were lots mooching about. Decent game too if I recall.

Cheers fat belly. Not seen that photo of us lot (wirewomen, Tim Brown, Myself, our Dave and Mike Mason ) stood on the pitch for years, yet it seemed only yesterday. Great photo and now it,s on my facebook.

his son went to my school and played rugby there im not sure about outside but i think he played union at school and league outside

Was 2006 the year of the Irish Bar post match celebrations with the players? There are some good photos knocking about from that night.

It was indeed. That was a tremendous night. Ben Westwood stole my mobile phone and was pretending to be me by sending naughty text messages to a girl I was seeing at the time.

Did they work?

A group of 4 of us went and had an awesome time. The weather, the huge Warrington support, the match, the bus ride back to the bars, meeting the players in one of them, Moranovic and his 6' 6'' black minder (!), the beach, the cultural bit around the town.
Yep - probably the best rugby weekend I've had.
(Although MM at Cardiff went close seeing 5 of the six/seven matches),

The CC's were great but that was a 1 day thing for me.

Awesome weekend, the one and only time i've been. Watching Silverwood stop a car in the street by standing in front of it, then lie down on the bonnet as it drove on down the street was priceless.

Unfortunately not. It ended a few weeks later!
