Great article and I completely agree with him.

Not on the Scotland losing thing of course.

New Zealand RFU get upset very easily, Wales wanted them to do the Haka before the Welsh anthem instead of after, this infuriated them meaning they did it in the changing rooms, I didnt work we got thrashed

I'll be popping into cardiff tomorrow to watch from a pub. Not really into rugby to be honest, just in it for the atmosphere. Match days in cardiff are immense.

Agreed, even if they lose, after the game there still seems to be a great atmosphere.
What time do the games start today?

I know how you feel, i was a Swansea RFC supporter untill they merged with their rivals Neath to create the Ospreys, i support the ospreys but they have destroyed a lot of historical clubs; Bridgend, Pontypridd etc which is a real shame.
The magners league could really do with a Cornish side being added; if it happened they could get regular Heineken Cup Rugby.
I hope you ll be supporting Wales against the saffers Fishy

Yep, it's pretty much exactly like that. I'm just glad my club have bounced back and are nowjust a league below the Pirates.

I wish we would join the Magners League.. I'd love a good excuse for away matches to Wales and Ireland especially. Would add a nice new dimension to the league I reckon and be so much nicer to be with our celtic cousins.

Yep. Wales for sure.

[Something Fishy]

Wales.. how close was that. gutting.

Redruth: beat Liverpool Waterloo for the first time ever (away from home) . Now top of the league with 10 games without defeat. Second place lost again putting us three (15 points) clear.. still very early but a good start (i still cannot see us going up with just one promotion spot not two as the rfu are changing the leagues again).

England: decent win for them against a good (very good on a sunny day?) Islanders side.

Canada are well good, innit?

Not a good side and Ireland away is a tough ask for any team these days.

[chalkitdown]

I guess so, but they're especially awful.

Well yes, that's what having no money does to a team.

What a strawberry floating disaster.

[Mommy Christmas]

strawberry floating shambles. Speechless. Well, almost.

[chalkitdown]

Leinster banana splits. Not even a try, what a strawberry floating joke of a performance.

[Dolph Wiggler]

Did Leinster win? I'm delighted, and just because i work in a sports shop in Kildare and everyone was looking for Munster jerseys today. I mean surely since our local team is pretty damn good i thought people would be supporting them. Just because Munster are slightly better they seem to be getting all the support around here...

[Mommy Christmas]

Great game today. Leinster v Leicester in the final - the Dyslexic's dream!

That is the first penalty shoot out I have seen i rugby, I knew they happened but i had never seen one before.
Gutted for Williams though, i was hoping Cardiff would win it in.
