VI NATIONS!

Well here we are at the dawn of this year’s VI Nations – yippee, at last – and although the press are not too hopeful about Italy’s chances of winning, they have been using many positive adjectives to describe Mirco: ‘talented’, ‘slippery running’ ‘bruising tackling machine’ and ‘ever-enthusiastic’ being just some. Now, while my unwavering support of Mirco is usually greeted with blank stares or much hilarity, I know what he’s really capable of achieving and the press are beginning to agree so I’m hoping that this season he finds his trusty, try-scoring legs again! You show them, boy!

England play Wales at Fortress Twickenham today. Both teams have a few key injuries – luckily not Gareth Thomas or Joe Worsley, and Ben Cohen is back at Number 11 :) – but somehow I don't think England will be beaten by Wales this year. Come on England!
