Bonjour mes amis ( hello my friends ).As I am normally the chap who starts off the posts on rugby,I thought that this amazing match was well worth a mention.I am currently restoring a garden to its ancient glory down in the var near st tropez and had the perfect place to park my van with lovely views of the med and a great tv reception just outside my clients house. To be honest,I did not see much of the med that afternoon !!I have never seen before a match of such great intensity for the entire game. By half time I had taken on the thought that I do not care who wins if we have this quality of rugby for the rest of the game.I think that A draw would of been the fairest of results.I just feel the need to credit both teams for putting in so much hard work and keeping up those levels of physicality,fairness and talent through to the end. The discipline levels were magnificant.Through to the end for England anyhow,unfortunately wales let slip after about seventy five minutes and a unthought out welsh defensive kick straight back to the english with just a few minutes to go was the slip up England had hoped for and Daley strolled over the line with ease. Cuthberts defensive work has never been tiptop and he was a poor replacement for North.Wales only gave it their all for about twenty minutes against Italy and in comparison to the usual forty-fifty minutes we normally put it,seventy five minutes of great rugby is huge progress.Credit also to the reffing,which saw many small mistakes go unpunished to keep a good fluid game running nicely.Apart from that one silly kick,I was not disapointed with the loss as both teams were winners in my eyes with a superb level of rugby being played.I hope that you all got equal enjoyment out of it and are looking forward to the rest of the tournament as I am.Love and light to allJamie xx
