At this time if the year, the best 6 countries in Europe take part in what is obvious called "the 6 nations Rugby championship".

Today's game was between Wales and Ireland and being Welsh I had a vested interest in today's game.  Ireland were favourites before the game started as they have been the better and most consistent over the past 12mnths.

As expect the Irish came out on fire and were pinning us back, they were by far the better side but Wales survived the first onslaught and were winning early on

But as expected they finished the first half strong and took the lead going in to halftime.

The second half was a little bit of a blur and it was a see-saw affair but the Irish were just too strong for us and as much as we tried to catch them they were always 1 step ahead

And by the end we were always playing catch-up and trying to throwing the miracle pass to win  the game and that's when they caught an interception pass and ran off to put the nail in the coffin.

So although it wasn't the result we wanted, it was a good game to watch and at least Scotland beat England 😂😂
