The final Saturday of 2009 RBS 6 Nations is here! Three games were played today: Italy and France, England and Scotland, and then Wales and Ireland for the Grand Slam tile.
The first of the games between Italy and France I missed b/c my friends came for lunch (that I’ll tell you about later), but anyhow the score was: Italy 8 – 50 France. OMG, I can’t believe I missed this game, though I definitely plan to watch it later on BBC iPlayer!
In the next game I only caught the second half since I was hanging out w/ my friends; the score ended at 26 – 12 to England who strongly won against Scotland.
And finally for the Grand Slam tile game that was such a very awe-inspiring battle… Ireland had a thrilling Grand Slam victory over Wales clinching it in last ten minutes with a score of Italy 15 – 17 , which broke Ireland’s 61-year wait for a Grand Slam title!
Well, that’s it for Europe’s premier rugby tournament of 2009. What ups and downs there were, and I cannot wait until next year’s RBS 6 Nations and the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand…
