Keeping my eye on the scoreboard at the moment

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Rugby is Wales' national game.

It's important for Wales to win the Grand Slam - defeating all the others in the 6 Nations Championship (England, Scotland, Ireland, France & Italy). If that's not possible,

It's very important to win the Championship (on points). If that's not possible,

It's extremely important to win the Triple Crown (beating England, Scotland and Ireland).

But, if all else fails (and it has this year) -

It is VITAL for Wales to beat England.

The match - the final one in this year's championship - is on now.

After 25 minutes, Wales was 15-0 up. Thought it was going to be fireworks tonight.

Half time score was Wales up 18-15.

Now it's 18-18.

Wales won the Grand Slam two years ago. People want to know, how the team could have got so shitty so fast.

Does not matter much anymore. France is winning the Tournament!

But that is from the perspective in which France was not England's first colony. Wales was, and still is. And that makes all the difference.

Now 27-18!

Vive la différence, then!

Score was, I think, just enough to get Wales off the bottom of the table.

I have to say that, since the competition was restarted after WWII, France has done best

France 22 wins 7 grand slams

Wales 17 wins 7 grand slams

England 12 wins 6 grand slams
