VI NATIONS - FINAL THOUGHTS

© quins

It was truly a great VI Nations this year! And no, not just because England, in spite of a woeful performance against Ireland, won the Tournament. Nor because they topped the table from the start. And not just because Nick became captain for the last game. It was great for all sorts of reasons, not least that it was so topsy-turvy right to the end, it could have been anyone's Tournament; that Italy, despite getting the wooden spoon again, gained a momentous victory, their first ever against France; that Mirco kept his cool and continued to kick most of Italy's points; that a fox on the pitch proved to be the most exciting thing to happen in the England-Scotland game; that a referee suffered an injury and had to be substituted mid-way through a game; that the scandal of 'ball-gate' ;p in the Wales-Ireland match led to their victory; that Andrea Masi won Player of the Tournament. All this, and there's STILL the World Cup to come later in the year!
