you've not won the tournament yet my friend. True, your boys looked good. Very good actually. But don't brag too early, you still have to beat Ireland and they look pretty hungry too...
I'll put my dough on Ireland to win the tournament. Not necessarily the slam though, but they've got some big games at home which should help them quite a bit. I love that game...
Good on you Bots - delightful to see Wales prevailing. Down here in NZ we are all loving it - mainly because we are actually going to have some competition this year...
Well it's the eve of a momentous occasion in rugby, the Grand Slam. That is not only for Wales to win the championship but to win the championship undefeated. To put this in context, the 70's produced a team that won 3 grand slams, 2 back to back - the last in 1978. I was a bit too young to remeber that one, however tomorrows match against Ireland (KO 15:30 BST) promises to be part of a great rugby festival.
The City is already packed with our drunken Irish brothers celebrating St Paddy's day in advance of the match. Unfortunately a ticket for the match remains elusive (talk on e-bay of £2000 a ticket).
Rumors are also afoot that the city may run out of Brains beer, it's happened before. Brains is epecting to sell a weeks worth of beer in one day - about 500,000 pints (total population of Cardiff 300,000).
Sorry for hijacking the Architecture for sport, my last post will be tomorrow if I can stagger back to the flat and work the computer
nope, nz, i'l be at eden park tomorrow night (along with the rest of ak by the sounds of it). just between you and me though, the blues are gonna lose.
Well done Wales. I look forward to the next few games to see if that's not just a flash in the pan, considering how crap England were this year and that it shouldn't take them too long to straighten that out. Things change fast in the world of rugby... but well done nonetheless.
well England didn't have their prize, good ol' Johnny. Don't care what anyone thinks but he's the reason they played so well in the World Cup...allow them to by a very different game...kick and run well actually run and kick...fewest scrums in a World Cup final ever..proof in the pudding.
6 Nations 2005
Never mind football.
How happy am I
Answer - very... I think I celebrate this great win with few pints of Brains SA :->
2 teams down, 3 to go
the brains rock dude!!! go brains!!!
oh dear.. two poor performances two wins. Wales next?
I can't resist - a new welsh love spoon...
you've not won the tournament yet my friend. True, your boys looked good. Very good actually. But don't brag too early, you still have to beat Ireland and they look pretty hungry too...
one game at a time, I know ;-)
were it the wales boys whose coach fed them male potency drugs (viagra) during training to help their performance?
what game is this exactly???
wales are looking good this year but Ireland will win the Slam!

it doesnt look as though those fellows are quite as juiced with steroids as they might be. who should i root for and why???
BOTS are you looking forward to the upcoming slaughter of the Lions by New Zealand?
later diabase, we can also beat the French!
3 teams down
go brains!!!!!
due to advertising rules in France the shirts this time said BRAWN instead of BRAINS
well rugby is a game of brains & brawn of course!
they should have switched the i and the a and became the "brians"
Scotland put to the sword
NOW I can look forward to a potential Grand Salm.
It's been a long time coming.
does anyone here actually play rugby?
go brians brians rule!!!

:-)
go Wales!
really looking forward to Ireland coming up tho

true true diabase. I'm hoping we might see some on the telly all the way over here in London. Fingers crossed.
Those late to this babble

BOTS:
Y Ddraig Goch ddyry gychwyn!
Twll dîn pob Sais!
But New Zealand am byth!
sure, sure, international rugby... meanwhile back at the super12...
go wales, but.
agfa8x - Super 12? Where are you from? I am assuming from the 'but' at the end of you last reply that you are Australian...
nope, nz, i'l be at eden park tomorrow night (along with the rest of ak by the sounds of it). just between you and me though, the blues are gonna lose.
i didnt see the brians in any of the field of 64 for the tourney. what gives???
agfa - I am also in the city of sails... nice day is'nt it?
yeah, its nice to have another warm one.
i was really starting to miss the big 'A'. Thankfully the snow in London has stopped and I can finally wear my jandals to work. Choice.
congratulations BOTS!
(unfortunately, as predicted, the blues got creamed)
Aye good stuff, fantastic play from the Welsh
...and the city rocked on into the early hours - brilliant
bring on the Lions tour, you can never have enough rugby in Wales.
putting the 'ale' in wales again i see. nice work.

Now onto the Hong Kong 7s
So BOTS, 25 all against Argentina aye? Prepare to be slaugtered...
Yeah, not the best and £52 to watch.
Furtunately I ditched the Millenium Staduim to get to the Millenium Centre to watch Rigoletto with the missus. Very good!
... and Xavier Rush is coming from the Blues to the Cardiff Blues. We need something for next season.
