sporting weekend

[waider]

Rugby: Italy 18, Wales 18. Italy actually deserved to win this, I think. Ireland 15, Scotland 9 in a hard-fought game at a wet and windy Lansdowne road; both teams missed plenty opportunities to score but the commentators said it was a spectacular game under the conditions, so I guess I can't fault that. And in case anyone cares, there's a new F1 season, with new rules, new teams, and new drivers. I watched some of the new qualifying format and it's certainly an improvement over the single-lap qualifying, but it remains to be seen whether or not the race is worth any attention.

If the radio commentary was anything to go by, Ireland dominated the set pieces, and Scotland simply didn't get enough posession to be a real threat.

It leaves you guys in the unusual position of hoping for an English victory today. If England beat France, then you can win the championship by beating England next week. If France win, you need some kind of miracle from Wales to stop France taking the title.

Good luck.
