The annual 6 Nations Rugby Tournament featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Wales and Scotland kicked off yesterday to determine who is the best Northern Hemisphere side.
England v Italy
36-11
Even though England beat Italy, if they play like they did against the other sides, England could end up near the bottom. Italy’s undoing was using Bergamasco as scrum half. If Nick Mallet hadn’t waited until half time to change things England would have been beaten. This was a complete and utter snore fest.
Ireland v France
30-21
This was more like it, a really close and exciting game, however the England game made me zone out and I was doing other things at the time, so I didn’t really 100% appreciate how brilliant this game was.
The moments I did catch were brilliant.
Ireland for the grandslam? Maybe.
Coming up later today is Scotland v Wales at Murrayfield. I predict a Wales win by 15 points.
