Billybob has received this note from Paul Ruttledge in Afghanistan

Hello mate, it’s Ruttledge.  Cheers for all your emails. They’re brilliant.  Where do you get so many from?  Sorry I haven’t emailed you back.  The internet keeps crashing out here and, as of recently, things have got pretty busy.
Can’t wait to see everyone and catch up with a pint or two in the Buddle.  The tour finishes in October time so I should have a lot of time off and I really need to get out on the rugby pitch. So if you could try and put in a word for me as, after six months out here, I’ll have a bit of aggression to take out on some poor winger (or forward: I’m not fussy).
I’m back very soon for two weeks and ill try and give you a bell to go for a drink as i know Newbury is up for a cider or two!
Take care mate and cheers once again for keeping in touch, say hello from me to everyone and I’ll see you soon.

Rutters.
