It’s in full swing, you know what I mean it’s the Six Nations Tournament.
And I’m sure you’re aware that I’m a keen rugby fan, my favourite team. Mmmmmmm, let me think…….has to be Ireland. And oh my goodness, two matches, won both. Thrashed France and obliterated Italy by a scoreboard of zero to Irelands 36. I agree that it isn’t over until the final but if I were asked who ‘my’ favourite is to win the tournament. Let me think……..as I said previously, it has to be Ireland but yes, do watch this space. Is there a team in this years Six Nations that will prove me wrong!
I know there are some who wouldn’t ever watch a rugby match but do give it a try. In Irelands second match against Italy at the Aviva stadium, the Irish National anthem was sung by an eight year old boy, who sang it with a heartfelt confidence, in front of a 50,000 supporters and you could see the emotion on the faces of each and every Irish player.
This is what rugby is all about. a passion to be the best, to play as a team, to represent their country the best they possibly can and to follow the rules of the game.
Next matches are on Saturday February 24th and Sunday 25th February.
