VI NATIONS – THE LAST WEEK-END

Well that’s that then, VI Nations over for another year. Personally I’m relieved in a way as I don’t think my blood pressure could have taken much more, either shouting at the telly in frustration (encouragement in Mirco’s case) or else nearly nodding off with boredom. I’ve mixed feelings about yesterday’s matches with a sneaky suspicion that the wrong sides won. Although I'm not sure England should have won either; most of the players were there but unfortunately so were the stupid mistakes. Oh, the dullness of it all.

At least one of the other positives is that I won’t have to listen to the French commentators massacring the names of the players any more: ‘Jammy’ Noon (Jamie Noon), 'Aleex Poffam’ (Alix Popham), ‘Goddon Murfee’ (Geordan Murphy), Scott ‘Loson’ (Scott Lawson) - et j’en passe.

However, ONCE AGAIN Mirco was man of the week-end, he seemed to be playing centre, wing, scrum-half, fly-half, full-back and sometimes even flanker, he was everywhere and he even managed to score a try. He definitely deserves to win Player of the Tournament.

Anyway, now we can all return to normal and just hope that Stade Français qualify for the Top 14!
