Just watched two great rugby matches today on the Six Nations coverage. Neither was technically spectacular, but in terms of having the match up in the air until the last possible second of play, both were phenomenal. Lots of tension and excitement, plus Ireland won (which makes me happy), and Wales are looking at the distinct possibility of a wooden spoon. Hilarious.
As a spectator sport, I'm not sure rugby can be beat. Great stuff. It's a shame it's covered so little in the States; I feel like I've been missing out, not having had easy access to it all this time.
Now if England can just pull out a miracle win against France tomorrow to force a draw in the standings with Ireland. That sends it to points scored, and I think the margin will be higher between Ireland and Italy than it will be between France and Scotland. Hopefully, anyway.
