I'm worried I'm becoming a rugby union fan............ I watched 10 minutes of the Scotland v Ireland game before turning over!!!!! That's a whole 9 minutes more than usual!!!!

Didn't watch either but apparently Scotland v Ireland was supposed to be a good match. Then I read the report.

Ireland came back to lead (I think) 22 v 21. And then according to the report Scotland's supremacy was reasserted by, wait for it, two penalties!

I know RU is a different game. I watched my son play it for long enough but RU fans and journos have seemed to have convinced themselves that winning by penalties and penalty kicking is of equal virtue to scoring tries. They didn't used to do that. I can remember England being derided for winning games via the boot alone. Not anymore.

It's amazing that with all the favourable TV and media coverage they get, they don't make even a modest effort to make it a better spectacle. France three points behind with a minute or so left, desperately needing a score, and the seconds ebb away on the clock as they mess around re-setting a scrum.

Although I didn't see any of the England game, it was great to see that Ben Te'o the New Zealand born Ex west tiger, Brisbane Broncos, South Sydney, Queensland and Samoa Rugby League player score the winning try!!!!



Just saying

Deliberatly went to a pub that doesn't normally have a TV. They had one on special for the England game. Played Junior Scrabble with my youngest instead.
