I wonder how much coverage we will get in the national newspapers tomorrow - today's Times had half a page on Wales v Ireland and five yes FIVE pages on England v Scotland
However I have no doubt the Welsh papers will be covering every kick tomorrow

Re: What a match
It was a cracker of a match, the best yet of the 6 nations matches, BUT, not against all the odds! They were pretty evenly matched, though Ireland may have been the favourites beforehand, the better team won, even with a give away by the referee of of a penalty try. Only real tries count, IMO.Whynd1 wrote:Wales beat Ireland in Cardiff against all the odds and what a match it was. Our daughter and son in law had tickets for the match , what a treat.

Re: What a match
I was born in Porth and obviously have an affiliation to Wales although I've lived in England (the Garden) nearly all of my life.

I do have a little Welsh, but it is 'Gog' and that can be quite different to yours.Jan Rosser wrote:
