My friends
@Iceman and
@AverageMan .
Here in Wellington we have a real Welsh pub. While there's super rugby on at the moment there's no six nations or international games - so the Welsh pub are showing historic Welsh matches ( on S4C or BBC Cymru) .
Today, the wife let me out of the cave so I went to the pub, had a pint and watched the 2019 RWC game between Wales and Australia and the 2008 6 Nations match between England and Wales. Warren Gatland's first game as coach.
England took the lead early and held it until half time 16 -3. Wales came back in the second half and eventually won 26-19. A truly epic clash. Jonny Wilkinson played in that match - still great, although nearly at the end of his career.
Interesting though, that the play was much scrappier than we see today. Perhaps referees have become much more vigilant around breakdowns and loose ball.
Anyway, thought of you lads while enjoying the rugby hope you are all well up there and keeping safe. Cadw saff ! Cheers.
