I once knew a buddhist priest who played rugby for Japan.
Tall guy, from the north.


                                   Saturday

Twikenham, the village that became the home of English 
rugby

Burma Out! talked to hundreds of S African and Australian
sports fanz today. In fact the tension at the Rugby World Cup 
semi-finals at Twikenham was amazing,  and what a game!


I mean, let me describe the scene, for this will go out over 
the burma1 net... 70,000 Australian and S African rugby fanz 
turned up today, 60,000 may have had tickets but the rest 
just turned up.

BO explained to 1000s of people today how  not only was it
involved with past sports sanctions on S Africa but also they 
were about to turn their attentions to those who would sanitize 
sports in Australia.   And as the green, black and a non poitical 
gold and yellow predominated this mass peopled scene in the 
narrow streets of west London, home of Rachel Goldwyn, 
presently imprisoned for 7 years hard labour in Burma for 
seeing the plight of karenni refugees in Thailand and singing a 
banned song in the "peace at any price" streets of Rangoon.

In the  midst of these noisy crowds of internationally friendly 
non Oympic sportpersons,  the BO message rang clear and as 
usual, easily cutting through the multi-tankards of beer. 

Now the game is into extra time, but time is fast  running 
out for the Burmese junta team. (And sadly, the S Africa rugby 
squad  too.)    But what a game.. A game of games huh?

BO made many new friends today, and it  raised some £150, 
$250, 350 guilders within an hour and a half for the BO cause.  
But more importantly it will be those to whom we talked who 
will carry the BO news and its literature, and sports sanction 
mandate, wherever they go 

(I am told that the rand wil improve  with age ;-) Because yes, 
people also give BO their spare rand,  plenty of it.)

btw, if anyone want to know exactly which Englishman provided 
the Anti Apartheid Movement with the hundreds of tickets needed
to  disrupt  S Africa rugby squad meeting with England at 
Twilkenham,  way back in history, please ask us at BO..

There had to be a losing side.  But the whole shebang 
starts again tomorrow.  On Sunday the 2nd semi-final takes 
place  and guess what?  BO will be there "handing out BO" 
and taking in new friendships and finance. 

It may even send over the odd drop kick for the Generals to 
contemplate as they deal drugs and torture the innocent.


Amandla and,  Be nice to the roo? One Hanson, one bullet.
