Six Nations Week 3

After a week off the 6 nations got back having a go at each other. For the first time in history (both 5 and 6 nations) there was a game on Friday night which saw the French host the Welsh. Must admit I didnt see the fixture as I was in Manchester at Andreas's Scout Troups Race Night (I broke just under even for the evening) however back to the rugby despite an equally shared first half the French beat the Welsh by 21-16 making life difficult for the french to retain the championship and negating their chances of a grand slam.

Scotland took on the Italians in th eearly KO on Friday and took the spoils quite happily with a 20 point victory winning 26-6. The game was quite good and I was glad to see the Scots win their first game of the 6 Nations, I dont expect another win but atleast we have reduced the chance of the wooden spoon this year.

Ireland managed to have a very luckey victory over the English beating them by just a single point. I only saw the first half and it wasn't anything special. The second half for me was spent travelling to a dinner that I went to with Andrea and her brother and sister.
