six nations rugby, weekend one

[waider]

Ireland v. Italy: we won, but who cares? The only proper try, of three scored, was the Italian one.
England v. Wales: didn't see it. Heard that England pretty much did a stompy dance on Wales.
Scotland v. France: Hply Sjot. I do believe Scotland won't be sober any time this week. Not only did the Highlanders win the game, they did so through superiority rather than a lucky game. Such a joy to see them pushing the allegedly immovable French pack 15 meters and more back up the pitch to score a try. Boy, was I ever yelling in delight at the TV (much to the dismay of Sheila's cats).

Have to admit that I was completely stunned by the Scotland result (and so were the commentators). I spent the second half listening to the radio and thinking, "We're not gonna do it, we're not gonna do it..." But somehow, we did do it. Now Wales can give us a doing and bring us back down to earth. . .

As for Ireland, i wouldn't worry too much: there's a lot to be said for winning ugly.

And, Sheila? Isshecute?
