Now it was time for the biggie! Wales against the Old Enemy of England in Cardiff.
England haven’t beaten Wales since 2006, and Martin Johnson, the new England manager, has never lost in Cardiff as a player, so he was determined to beat Wales that day. And, as usual, England decided to keep the roof of the stadium open. When it’s closed, the stadium atmosphere tenses even more, and the voices and screams of the fans could be heard much, much louder… and then fires the Welsh team up even more. So, it could have been a sign that England had their doubts. After all, they went into this game as underdogs.
Anyway, a lot happened in this game, it was much more exciting than the previous one that day… and possibly the best match of the year’s tournament so far. I would describe what happened during the game, but I’m no good at reviews… therefore I’ll give you a link, which directs you to a professionally made summary of this awesome game!
