Well after this weekend's Rugby what can I really say. The Italians were very sharp on Saturday and after the first 7 minutes or so it never looked like they were going to lose. Congratulations must go to them for their first away win. Remembering that their first ever win was also against the Scots.
England went over to Croke park ....an occasion more mared by the media's constant referral back to the days of Michael Collins ..... 90% of them not even bothering to mention the 14 people murdered by Collins and his men which led to the attack at Croke park. Before anyone starts going at me .... I do realise that the people Murdered at Croke were not (To any ones knowledge) involved with the preceding events. And I do not agree with the Army going in the way they did. Anyway .....enough of the politics ..... Back to the Rugby.
England were well and truly beaten by a far superior Ireland team with Ireland finally finding their true form in this competition ..... The only bright light, on which was a really cloudy day for England, was the debut by David Strettle ...... Seemed the only player on the pitch not to be phased by the occasion. But then he is a Quin so maybe I'm biased.
As for the Welsh ...... They lost to France ....but that really was expected .... at the present time in the competition the old welsh have been "leek"ing points like a sieve and have the dubious honour of probably claiming the wooden spoon.
