It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Why was the Welsh match extended for so long? (I just came in from a bike ride...)
Hey hey hey, what a day! Ireland beat England, France beat Wales. Particularly pleasing because the French commentators were all "if we beat Wales we end up second", as if England beating Ireland was a foregone conclusion. Well, I suppose it was that, for more than one.
Yes, but ref allowed it and Alun Wyn Jones didn't make any adverse remarks.
It's sports commentators' jobs to presents sports fixtures as foregone conclusions. Then, if anything else happens (it frequently does) they can say how incredible it was and sell more papers/attract more clicks/get more viewers. I posted something about this when Inverdale was touting yesterday's Ireland-England game as a "grand slam showdown" - by which he meant that both Ireland and England would be on 100% when the match kicked off.
