I'll be cheering for Wales...............'s Celtic brethren - the French,
well at least the ones from Brittany - if only to piss off one of the local
AETs who's been coming round to my house every weekend to watch the England
games.

I was in 7th heaven for 40 minutes on Sunday evening - but not surprisingly
the boys in red couldn't sustain their momentum.  An inspired piece of
substituting (Mike Catt) was the tactical difference, and failure to kick
points was the ultimate difference - Neil Jenkins must have been watching
the game in agony.

Whoever is carrying the games in the UK will be rushing the Wales vs. NZ and
Wales vs. England games straight to DVD/video - probably with some retired
player from the 70's waxing lyrical how the performances auger well for next
year's 6 Nations Championship....I've always admired the Welsh capacity to
take heart from defeat..."it's the moral victory that counts"
