Wales v. Ireland


Great match but I reckon the South African ref probably had Irish relatives!

Here's Jonny!


A very welcome back to Jonny Wilkinson in yesterday Calcutta cup. This was a classic game of Rugby in the true spirit of the 6 Nations cup, and there's nothing better than duffing up the Scots!
It was great to see Jason Robinson back in the side again and scoring a superb try. This was a totally different6 team to the onwe I saw last at Twickenham in Novemeber.
New coach, new Captain and old blood.
I'll bet Mike Tindall and Zara Philips weren't invited round to Mummy's for dinner last night, The look on Princess Anne's (president of the Scottish Rugby Union) face as she handed overy the cup said it all.
I can't wait for the England Wales match, but we have to beat the favourites the. Irish first.
