2014 Six Nations

[Athens]

My nerves are just recovering.

Tough match today, both sides were up for it. The owner of the James Joyce in Athens had offered a free pint for every try O'Driscoll scored, so I suppose he is doubly happy now that Ireland won and he didn't have to dish up free pints all round.

I wont pretend to know a lot about rugby but I am always surprised about the Welsh.
I mean, they are not even a proper country are they?
Shouldn't it be like the cricket where they are called England

Whilst on my travels the amount of people who have asked me if Wales is in England is quite disturbing. Depending on my mood as you can imagine the responses that I've given have varied drastically.

When I was in the states a girl asked me what's it like living in England? I said I live in Ireland and she replied "Oh sorry, I was getting confused with Wales."

See it's situations like this that proves the point about it always being useful to have a bag of lime and a shovel close to hand.

How come everyone hates Wales so much?

Did you hate them this much during the victorious Lions tour?

Yep. Maybe more then.

I think it's because the Irish, English and Scots all got a bit jealous of us winning the six nations every year.

+ TBF the Lions was basically Wales versus Australia.
