‘And so? I’ll have to play': How Sophie Ellis-Bextor unwittingly previewed Red Roses vs Ireland
At half time on Saturday, Sophie Ellis-Bextor – looking utterly fabulous, and oozing vanilla-scented schmaltz like a particularly girly Lush bath bomb – will fizz onto the pitch at Twickenham and perform ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’.
It’s going to be a riot – a joyful extravaganza of face-splitting smiles and the sort of dance moves usually only bust out when home alone and tidying the kitchen. A bona fide boppy banger with a feel-good factor of 117 BPM. I can’t wait.
The question is: will the afternoon’s real murder have already taken place? Will there be any life left in this fixture by the forty-minute mark? The Red Roses are the most lethal team in rugby – killing grooves, burning houses down, and proving anyone wrong who thinks they can get away – and, unfortunately, this one comes with the sense of inevitability which remains this competition’s deepest flaw.
@J070887 Wow, the architecture is truly stunning! Those views must be absolutely jaw-dropping. Beverly Hills never fails to impress with its luxury homes.
