VI NATIONS: LAST WEEK-END
© bbcI: AH, BOTHER
Well, the VI Nations afternoon did not start well since France 2 thought we’d much rather be watching some thrilling* tour de campagne cycling race than any boring* rugby and so we arrived at the Italy-Ireland match 20 minutes late. I’m sure you can imagine my joy*. The loss of Mauro seemed to weigh heavily during this match. And it was confirmed that De Marigny is no tackling full-back. And don’t get me started on the flat* passes which led to Irish tries ..
II: AND THE WINNER IS ..
Hmm, what to say about France-Scotland? Predictable? A tad unexciting? And not that I’m one to call the refs blind but one seriously wonders sometimes where they’re looking when the wrong Lamont is sent off for a late shoulder barge. Still, bright sparks were tiny, bossy Pierre Mignoni, Lionel Beauxis in the starting line-up and the fact that the most deserving team won the Tournament this year!
III: AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!
They definitely saved the best game until last: Wales-England - what a match! But you know, sometimes, watching rugby is not good for the blood pressure .. thank goodness it’s all over*. Until the World Cup, that is!
