Newsflash

Warning - expect delays if calling out the AA or RAC - they are currently experiencing high demand due to a high number of chariots needing to be towed back over the Severn Bridge.

For those of you not in the know - Wales beat England today, 23-15. It was a hard match. England were not the walkover that was expected by some. Wales would start to dominate, would look like they were going to storm forward, and then England would drag, from some unknown depths, a new strength to start again. Some England players deserve an amazing amount of respect, Worsley and Sackey (I still can't understand why the most threatening man was taken off) stand out from the crowd. It was tense to watch, and in the last ten minutes could have gone either way, England managing to play outside themselves while Wales were struggling to find new ideas. The England game plan was to slow down the match, to stop Wales running, and it was a plan that almost worked. Nonetheless, Wales move onwards, two matches down, two matches won.
