Good spirit.... (RWC)

[Oaktech]

Morning everyone - what a glorious day it is here in Wales. The sun is out, there is not a cloud in the sky - oh yes and Wales beat England - despite the ref being off his game, and despite England pushing in at the scrum and being off side most of the game.

 

I think England had sussed Wales out at the start but at the end Wales sussed England out. Yes we changed our game plan and threw the ball wide.

 

"Sam who?" Sam Burgess can go back to rugby league with that sort of arrogance. It may all be mind games - but that sort of arrogance is why all the other teams support everyone playing against England.

 

Mike Brown should be ashamed of his interview on TV - petulant, stroppy schoolboy stuff from him. He was a bad advert for the England game (but a good player when he gets going).

 

Farrell can stop doing that stupid hand signal when he scores a kick. The fact that they lost just makes him look stupid.

 

I do feel sorry for England. Ahhh who am I kidding - I don't. If England had won the papers would be full of it. The BBC were a bit off point yesterday. 5 news stories and then in quick, silent voices - "Wales beat England". If England had won it would have been first on the news. but Oh no.....

 

Still - in the spirit of rugby - England lost. Get over it. Move on. I'm sure there will be victories for England against Wales in the future - but for now.... we'll take it.

Amen to all of that!

 

I've just bought some parts for a stepladder from a manufacturer in Swansea, apparently it's a bit quiet this morning as a lot of the staff still have hangovers!

We gave away too many penalties, stopped doing the right things, started making poor decisions at crucial times, changed the midfield setup at a crucial time, started kicking the ball back to Wales at a time we should have held on to it...

 

Anyway, we'll see what happens from now on.

The "stupid hand signal" is supposed to represent two letter Js together as in "Joining Jack". This is related to a charity that is determined to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, hopefully in time to help the Jack in question. I've not always been Farrell's biggest fan but every time he scores, regardless of the game or circumstances, he does it and in my eyes that's a good thing.

Ahhhhh - I wasn't aware so retract my comment. I read a lot about rugby but I've never read that.

 

Apologies if it offended anyone.

No problem. The more people that know about the better IMHO and it might not have come up otherwise.
