The Rugby World Cup - What's a princess to do?

Plenty of princesses will find their man decidely distracted (and possibly, frequently drunk!), once the Rugby World Cup starts tonight. This evening, France (the hosts girls) play Argentina in what's not expected to be a close-run opener.

As for England, Scotland and Wales, well despite being reigning champions, us blokes are not that hopeful for England's prospects of winning anything but the wooden spoon. That means usual spoon holders Scotland can expect to go home totally empty-handed. Whilst Wales might just be the dark horse of the competition -- or not, as these predictions all too often turn out!

Throughout the two-month tournament, women nationwide should be prepared to listen to endless post-game analysis and provide emotional support and counselling in the (inevitable) event of (shock-horror) her man's team not winning. While men should prepare to sob into their beer glasses.

But what's a girl to do while all this nonsense of men chasing funny shaped balls is going on? I mean, there's only so much time you're going to want to spend squished in a pub full of large, animated, beer-stained men shouting at a screen. Well, we're running a survey sponsored by sister site www.pressies4princesses.co.uk to find out what women will be up to. Why not take part here?!

Meanwhile, here's some suggestions:

- Don't get lumbered with the kids
- Go shopping, as at probably 50% of shoppers (ie men) will be packed in pubs
- Indulge yourself some me-time. The spa anyone?

Anyone got any more to add?
