It's been quite painful watching the VI Nations this year, I've literally winced each time England have plodded on, whether to win, defeat or draw. Thank goodness the French are there to lift the spirits and although I admit to divided loyalties, I really hope they do win the Grand Slam, even if it means smacked bottoms for England. The other bright spot in an otherwise meandering VI Nations is Mirco kicking most of Italy's points, confidently and precisely. There was a time when you watched behind the cushion whenever Italy took a penalty but not any more since boy wonder took over kicking duties. Since it's the final day tomorrow, there's not a better place that I could think to spend it than at the Millennium Stadium. Me and Mirco flag will be there and hoping he scores a try too!
