I have rather unfortunately broken my left wrist so typing is very laborious. I sat through four games of international rugby yesterday as the pride of the Northern Hemisphere took on the strength of the Southern Hemisphere. As you will all know by now, it was four defeats out of four for the home nations.
As it is difficult to type I will make this short
using (bad) rhyme.
Summer
Internationals Week 1
Ireland start well and think
they’re in clover,
But all too soon the All
Blacks take over.
It should be England’s as the
Aussies see red,
But it’s still the home side
that leaves them for dead.
Yellow card fever and a kick
that fails,
The Boks sneak home but well
played Wales.
Argentinian beef is
exceedingly tough,
Scotland try hard but it isn’t
enough.
For the record Wales, lost 32-29 to South Africa with a last-minute penalty from the Springboks costing a draw. Wales exceeded all expectations and confounded the critics but in the end it was their discipline that tipped the scales against them. A whole lot of positives though after the Italian disaster. I hope Thomas Francis recovers quickly as he took a nasty looking bump.
Hard luck Wales but well done.
Let’s go one better next weekend.
