Rugby

Congratulations to Scotland and Ireland in the RBS Six Nations. I was very disappointed that England lost to the Irish so emphatically. England just didn't get going, even Toby Flood and Jonny Wilkinson missed relatively easy shots at goal. But Ireland did play exceptionally well to give them their due, as did Scotland at long last.

England are still 6 Nations champions but missed out on the Grand Slam.

Roll on the Rugby World Cup later this year.

Italy v France

Wasn't it fantastic to see italy beat France 22 - 21 last Saturday in Rome in the 4th weekend of the RBS Six Nations Rugby. The atmosphere was wonderful for the long suffering Italian rugby fans but their team played with passion and flair. I was on the edge of my seat hoping the Italians didn't givve away a penalty in the last five minutes.

Congratultions Italy, I hope you beat Scotland this coming weekend and make it two wins for the first time ever and come on England, beat ireland in Dublin to get a Grand Slam and Six Nations Champions.
