France v Wales

The first ever game of both Five and Six Nations to be played on a Friday (or any other day apart from Saturday and Sunday, in fact), was in Paris between France and Wales. It was a close game, Wales led 13-3, however, France came back and came to beat us by 21-16.

Naturally, I am disappointed that Wales lost against France, but I’m not devastated by not being able to get the Grand Slam. It was never going to be a walk over for us being in Paris, but we still had a good go and got close to a win. Wales haven’t been playing as good this year as they did last year, but it was still a good match and the last few minutes were very exciting. It may have been the best match of the tournament so far (but don’t quote me, I haven’t seen every single game, just highlights).

But Wales are still in second position behind the Irish, and we play them in Cardiff on the last game of this year’s championship. So there is still a chance for Wales to win the Triple Crown and also the Title. I think that will be the deciding game.

If there is another team I’d like to see winning the 6 Nations, it’s Ireland. They have preformed so much better than last year, and this year could be their second ever Grand Slam. It would be nice to see that happen, especially how they’ve played over the years, which has been very good with a few Triple Crowns and Titles, they deserve to win the Grand Slam sometime, and maybe this is their best chance to get it in a long time.

Oh, well… as long as we beat the English, eh!
