Any one watching the 6 nations 8) (I know i am 8) )
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."

Out of sight of subject shores, we kept even our eyes free from the defilement of tyranny. We, the most distant dwellers upon earth, the last of the free, have been shielded till today by our very remoteness and by the obscurity in which it has shrouded our name.

I would still be cautious of the Scots though..they are due a big performance. I remain cautiously optimistic though.

6 Nations...

nice to have a digital recorder! We're getting all the matches, most delayed
We're off to a local pub for the final rounds live.

The BEST excuse to have beer for breakfast!

Shame you weren't going - it was mental! Got back to Bristol yesterday afternoon in time to catch the last ten minutes of the England-France game. As they sometimes decide to do, the French didn't play for the first 60 minutes! In fairness, England apparently played a lot better. Did you watch it? Anyways, unless Ireland choke again, there's a Grand Slam coming next Saturday!!! Two of my mates who were in Edinburgh are coming over for it, but I don't know if my liver can take another weekend so soon like the one just gone...

They'd better not choke...this is our best chance and best team. Fingers crossed the boys will get over the line.

Talk about an emotional rollercoaster of a match! I couldn't watch Stephen Jones' final penalty. When I looked up, thinking we'd lost, we'd won! Happy happy days! Roll on the Lions, with a mostly Irish/Welsh team...
