6 nations pt 2

Scotland v France
Yeah thanks Scotland, I profess faith and what happens? Pah. Actually that's not fair, it was the best of the three matches, and Scotland were a bit unlucky that the French brought their good game. The Scots weren't outplayed hugely, although they probably didn't deserve to win either. The expansive French play was matched reasonably well by the Scots, so I'm not giving up hope. Yet. And on the strength of the first weeks play, these were the two best teams by far.

It does seem a bit odd watching the 6 nations and thinking it's all a bit naff for two reasons, firstly the rugger is kinda crap, and secondly I don't have much investment in anyone. So I'm watching for the pure rugby aesthetic.

Here's hoping it gets better, and I'm aiming to get some more beer in for next weekend.

We had the Wellington 7s this weekend: unfortunately NZ choked at the semis and it ended up a Fiji-Samoa final (which Fiji won) but the games were good.

Super14 pre-season was pretty depressing for the Hurricanes - thrashed in several different directions.... hopefully the season itself will be better! Not sure what internationals are lined up (except for Tri-Nations) but hoping for some good games in prep for the World Cup next year! And yes, we're going to some of the games.

Well, the "basketball rugby" is due to start next weekend down this way... and it goes for four months, or more.

Honestly, I want to care, and (of course) I have a season ticket to see the Hurricanes, but...

...too many teams.
