Bloody hell, those were two great matches. You’d have to feel a little sorry for Wales as they were the better team against Italy and deserved to win. But I wanted Italy to get their first away win. Didn’t happen, but the draw is better for them than for Wales.
But of course the Irish match was the one that I was most interested in. And we did deserve to win, and by a greater score than the final score if 15-9, but Scotland have a fantastic defence. And the rain and wind didn’t really help to create an error-free game. I think I’d have picked Stringer as man of the match, but Paul O’Connell was great.
And that was the final Six Nations match to be played in the current Lansdowne Rd. Next year we’ll be heading to Croke Park while the old stadium get redeveloped.
And, speaking of rugby, last October Victor Connell (Gavin’s cousin was seriously injured in a rugby match and will need assistance for the rest of his life, so if you think you can donate do visit the 4Victor website.
And I keep forgetting to post this image, which was the cartoon from BiffSniff last week. I think it is great:
Wales and Italy drew?! What's going on…?
Good on you – but I'm sad for Scotland…
Just surfing on BE, and thought I'd mention that your header is awesome. I love foxes, and you made a good-looking header there.
*mumble mumble grrr snassinrassinfrassin congratulations mumble mumble bloodybuggery mumble*
Wales are crashing and burning, that's whats going on Anne. From Grand Slam winners to possible wooden spoon winners.
As for Scotland, I'd be sorry for them if they'd been playing anyone but us :satansmoking: I'm implacable and merciless where our enemies are concerned. Hmmm, perhaps I'm taking sport to seriously?
Alan, I'll say nothing. Wouldn't want to make it any worse.
Hi Kelly, (can I cope with a third Kelly after what FM's blog ;) ) glad you liked the fox. He is pretty cool looking isn't he?
