Well Wales beat Italy – and I’m not surprised. But the match was also notable because Wales fielded their youngest ever international player, Tom Prydie. (The middle of the first picture.)
And here’s Stephen Jones going to catch the ball.
Surprisingly Ireland lost to Scotland.
And congratulations to France who not only won the six nations but got the grand slam as well. As you all know my favourite was the sexy Morgan Parra.
It has been a bad weekend for Wales. So disappointing to lose, but then we never really got it together. France won, and it seems they might win the 6 Nations as they are undefeated and there is only one more week to go. Here are some highlights.
Yesterday saw only the second Friday night game in the 6 Nations. Played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, it saw Wales clash with France. I’m sorry to say that Wales played very poorly and two silly mistakes led the way for France to score two very easy tries. It has taken me until now to recover from the defeat, so here are some pictures from the match showing the gorgeous Morgan Parra and Shane Williams scoring his 50th try for Wales.
Morgan Parra spins a pass.
Morgan just can’t leave Shane alone, and I can’t blame him.
Shane scores. Hurray! But alas, we still lose.
Seven minutes to go and Wales are ten points down; then the whole game changes. Scotland get two put in the sin bin and Wales play like they should have for the rest of the game. It was an amazing end to a lacklustre game for Wales. With the score level, the final play was amazing and I was on the end off my seat; the final try was brilliant for Wales to grasp the win.
Wales played terrible for most of the game, it was a game they should have won and they only did by the skin of their teeth. I hope they get it together for the next game.
Max Evans scores a try for Scotland in the 20th minute.
Lee Byrne’s try in the 56th minute start the Wales comeback.
Shane Williams touches down for the magnificent winning try.
Such a disappointment. They made a good effort to fight back but in the end England were just more organised and disciplined.
I may be cheering on the Welsh in this afternoon’s Six Nations match between Wales and England, but I’ll be keeping an eye on the England Centre, Matthew Tait. And today is his birthday! Below is a brief profile taken from scrum.com. I wish you well, but not too well as Wales is going to win!
Tait made his Test debut against Wales in Cardiff in February 2005 on the eve of his 19th birthday when he was a surprise selection by coach Andy Robinson for the Six Nations Championship opener.
It was a match to forget for the youngster as he struggled to impose himself in defence and attack and he was the recipient of a number of big tackles from Wales centre Gavin Henson before eventually being replaced.
He was the second-youngest player to have played for England since World War II, with only his Newcastle team-mate Jonny Wilkinson having played at a younger age. However, Tait had to wait another 16 months before adding to his caps, on the 2006 tour to Australia.
He has played at centre, wing and fullback and in October 2007 he became England’s youngest Rugby World Cup final player, at 21 years and 256 days, when he started against South Africa.
A replacement for the opening two matches against USA and South Africa, he made the No.13 shirt his own and almost scored the try of the tournament in the final but for a tackle from the Springboks’ Victor Matfield.
He was overlooked for the opening 2008 Six Nations match against Wales, before being reinstated in the match day 22 when Mike Tindall was forced to miss the rest of the tournament after damaging his liver. He spent much of 2008 on the bench, including coming on and scoring a try against Ireland to secure a second place finish in the Championship.
Tait, who joined Sale Sharks at the start of the 2008-09 season, played fullback in England’s second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch in June but did not figure in the autumn international series after suffering a hamstring injury.
He came to prominence after playing for England 16 and 18 Group, and joined Newcastle Falcons in 2003. He marked his Premiership debut against London Irish in May 2004 at the age of 18 years 86 days by scoring a try with his first touch of the ball.
Well I made it back in time and saw that England soundly beat Scotland. Now I hear the dulcet tones of ‘Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’ (‘The Land of My Fathers’ – the Welsh national anthem). The game is about to start.
Wales start the game and not a minute goes by before a penalty is awarded to Ireland after the Wales skipper trips off the ball. Donncha O’Callaghan and Ryan Jones have a little bust up over the foul but the ref says that the penalty will stand.
Ronan O’Gara misses the penalty and Wales are saved from trailing this early in the game.
Half an hour in and both teams are defending well. There is still no score. And I’ve just realised I’m missing Harry Hill’s TV Burp, oh hell, and it’s too late to set my PVR.
After a tussle Lee Byrne limps off, his ankle is causing him trouble and it looks like his game is over. Ireland then yield another penalty to Wales, this time they are close enough to try for the posts.
Steven Jones kicks it on target and Wales finally get the first point. It’s 3-0 to Wales.
Emotions continue to run high and Ireland give away another penalty. It is long, but Steven Jones takes it and it soars through the air to elegantly fall between the posts.
At half-time, Wales are now six points in the lead.
The second half gets under way and it is a different Ireland side as within four minutes Brian O’Driscoll manages to squeeze the ball over the line and a given a try and O’Gara converts. In five minutes Wales’ lead is gone and they are a point behind.
Two minutes later and I have no idea what has happened to Wales, but Tommy Bowe gets a try and O’Gara converts once again.
Four minutes later, Ireland concede another penalty, Steven Jones’ boot is having a lot of work to do and gets Wales another 3 points. It is now 12-14 to Ireland.
Wales are pulling back but only through penalties, can they get a try? I don’t think Wales can win with a clear 13 points but they could win and deprive Ireland of a Grand Slam. I hope so.
The game continues, both sides are eager to win.
After 73 minutes, Wales finally threaten a try but Ireland kicks the ball away. But Wales threnten again, can they do it. They don’t get the try, but the ball is passed to Steven Jones and he scores a fantastic drop-goal. Wales are back in the lead and the Millennium stadium goes wild. Wales just need to keep this lead for five more minutes to deny Ireland the Grand Slam.
But wait, Ireland don’t take it lying down and line up Ronan O’Gara his own drop-goal in the 77th minute, Ireland are now back in the lead. 15-17.
Gavin Henson has a good couple of attempts but doesn’t get far as Wales try desperately to get within range.
Wales get a penalty, can they do it. Steven Jones kicks the 48 metres to the posts but it is too far. The ref blows and Ireland win.
I’m off to drown my sorrows.
It’s the last day of the Six Nations and I think I will miss most of it as I have to go out. But I will be cheering Wales on wherever I am. If they beat Ireland then they will certainly take the Triple Crown (for those not from these shores, that means that they will have beat all the home nations – Ireland, Scotland and England in their games, it doesn’t matter that France beat Wales). But they have to beat Ireland by a clear 13 points to take the Six Nations championship. So come on Wales! Can Lee Byrne get any sexier.
And can Morgan Parra get any more gorgeous. I’ll miss him the most after today.
James Hook kicks us off and in the sixth minute Wales give away a penalty. Andrea Marcato kicks and scores, taking Italy 3 points in the lead.
Marcato goes for a drop goal but he’s too far.
Wales find a gap and make a break but fail to get to the try line, a knock-on gives them a penalty but James Hook slices the ball and fails to find the poles.
26 minutes and Wales surge forward, there’s some argy bargy but Shane Williams eventually finds his way and taps the ball down between the poles.
Wales quickly ruin this lead and give a way another penalty, which Marcato takes and now their lead is down to only one point. What on earth is wrong with Wales, too many penalties are being given away.
And as I say that, they give another one away and Marcato takes Italy into the lead.
Half-time and its 9-7 to Italy, Wales thankfully avert a good attempt by Italy in a final push for a try.
Ten minutes into the second half and Wales give away yet another penalty which Marcato takes and increases the Italian lead to 5 points. This is followed by a penalty to Wales which Hook takes and pulls back those 3 points and the Italian lead back to two.
Wales make a break for the line but Italy stops them and in the struggle Wales are awarded a penalty and Lee Byrne is on floor injured. He gets looked at while Hook takes the penalty and just squeezes it past for Wales to lead 12-13. Lee Bryne takes his place back on the pitch.
Thankfully, Tom Shanklin gets the opportunity and easily scores a try. The converstion by Hook puts Wales a good five points ahead of Italy.
Full time, and I don’t know how they did it, but Wales won.
