This is why I love the game . . .

It's half time and it's Wales 9, England 3. What a fantastic game of rugby! I don't want to get ahead of myself - it's only half time - but let me just say that that was one of the best "tryless halves" of rugby I've ever seen! I know there are many Antipodeans who love to slag off Northern Hemisphere rugby but show me a half of rugby played in the Southern Hemisphere in the last few years that had the passion, the intensity and the commitment we've seen in the Wales vs England game this evening. I've had goosebumps pretty much ever since the anthems were sung and there hasn't been a S15 game thus far that even comes close to this. This is real rugby! It's even being extremely well policed by my least favourite referee! Come on Wales! I'll post more after the game but before the squealing crybabies have a fit, let me add well done to the Brumbies. No excuses from me, the Sharks were ambushed in that first half and by the time they got their shit together in the second half, it was way too late. Congrats to the Brumbies (and to Joke White!). Come on Wales!
