England superb today. Wales' heaviest defeat in Cardiff in championship history - Five or Six Nations. Also their largest losing margin ever against England and the biggest score theyโve conceded in Cardiff. Not a good day for Welsh rugby.

England v Ireland in the Six Nations rugby. England down to 14 with a red card after 82s. Canโt see me enjoying this ๐๐

ICC Under-19 Menโs World Cup Final, England v India. Alex Horton from Glamorgan keeping wicket. Underway now, concurrently with the start of the 2022 Six Nations tournament, Ireland v Wales and Scotland v England. Trying to keep up to date with all of it. ๐๐

Well, South Africa best England in the T20 cricket but fail to qualify for the World Cup semi-finals. Unlucky. Now rugby - South Africa are playing Wales at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff (and itโs nice to see the stadium roof open even though itโs raining!). ๐๐
-
Not a satisfactory solution. Also trying to make pizza at the same time ๐ ๐ ๐

Saturday sports stress. ICC T20 World Cup Australia v England ๐ overlapping with Wales v New Zealand rugby international ๐

Just watched my recording of yesterdayโs British and Irish Lions First Test agains South Africa, having successfully avoided seeing the result and score for 18 hours. ๐
Good game. Can now look at newspapers and news websites again! ๐

Half-time France 17 - 17 Wales in Six Nations ๐. Action packed first half. As a bonus I think TV coverage/camera work of French TV team is great. More up close and immediate than some UK coverage.
-
England 23 - 20 France in the Six Nations. Really enjoyed that - sharp, open, flowing rugby by both sides, the best game of the competition so far. Looking forward to Wales in Paris next week. ๐
-
Wales 40 - 24 England. The rest of my household is happy. ๐
-
Half-time. Wales 17 - 14 England. Not sure how Wales got two tries, some strange decisions by the referee. ๐ค ๐

South Africa win the Rugby World Cup 2019. They dominated the game, outplaying England and completely strangling their game. Very well done! Finished England 12-32 South Africa. ๐
-
England 6-12 South Africa at half-time in the RWC Final - not going quite as Iโd hoped. England not nearly as composed and precise as last week and the Springboks' power is telling. ๐

Saturday morning. First prepare coffee. Next make breakfast. Then take a seat for England v South Africa in the Rugby World Cup 2019 Final. ๐

Wales 16-19 South Africa in the second Rugby World Cup 2019 semi-final. Tight game, not that exciting to watch and not the result I’d have liked. Roll on next Saturdayโฆ ๐

Rugby World Cup semi-finals this weekend - England v New Zealand this morning and Wales v South Africa tomorrow. Still hoping for an England v Wales final for maximum tension in our household next weekend (I’m English, my wife is Welsh) ๐ ๐

๐ Against all expectations I enjoyed Italy-Scotland most today. Donโt know how Wales managed to win against France. Oh well, Six Nations over for another year.
-
๐ Good job Ireland - must be looking forward to the World Cup now!
-
๐ ๐ค All going Irelandโs way - great play, Grand Slam imminent I think.
-
๐ Italy 27-29 Scotland - disappointed for Italy, played so well for the first hour and probably deserved a win.
-
Final day of this yearโs Six Nations ๐ competition. Beers ๐ป at the ready!
-
Switched from France-England ๐ rugby to Villa-Wolves โฝ๏ธ football and seen two fantastic Villa goals to make it 3-1. Some compensation if the result stands!
-
France - England ๐ second half exciting but ultimately disappointing. Far too many penalties given away. Deserved congratulations to Ireland as Six Nations champions!
-
England ๐ errors are mounting.
-
Disappointed in Scotlandโs final passes, disappointed that Ireland got a bonus point, but Ireland deserved the win in the end - took control in the second half, too much pressure for Scotland. ๐
-
Six Nations ๐ returns. Hoping for another win for Scotland ;)
-
Two great games of rugby ๐ in the Six Nations today. Neither result went the way I would have liked, with England and Wales losing, but really enjoyed watching the games - not a dull moment in either!
-
Really enjoyed England vs Wales ๐ today. Result for England was just about deserved, Jonny May was superb, but weather was atrocious!
-
Match ended Italy 15-46 England - Italy deserved probably deserved more, played well, but very happy with Englandโs performance, the win and the bonus point! Exeter players impressive at the end. Looking forward to next weekโs games. ๐
-
Italy vs England in the Six Nations for the final match of the weekend. Iโd love to be in Rome watching the game … ๐
-
France vs Ireland - great French defence, outstanding French try, game won for Ireland by Johnny Sexton. Brilliant drop goal from a long way out in poor conditions. Dramatic finish! ๐
-
Finding France vs Ireland quite tame compared to the Wales game earlier today. ๐
-
So, Wales 34-7 Scotland in the Six Nations opener. Very pleased with the result but tomorrow and next Saturday for England vs Wales I’ll be wearing my England ๐ shirt!

Great to have a Micro.blog page for posts about rugby in time for the 2018 Six Nations opening weekend. First game kicks off in about an hour from now - Wales vs Scotland in Cardiff. Can’t wait! ๐
