The time has come again this year when six European countries send bulked up men with toned legs running up and down various pitches (pitch= field) whilst tossing a ball about and bashing into each other. They do it wearing short shorts and at times make things more interesting by forming semi-circles of bodies which crash into each other (known as a scrum) or by lifting men into the air much like a ballet move (also known as a line out) . Yes, 6 Nations rugby is here. *If you want to know more about the competition check wikipedia.
England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales are in the midst of this competition, and to be honest I'm not really sure how long it goes on for. All I know is that when there are attractive men on the pitch the game is a lot more interesting. The first game of the day this Saturday was England v Italy and I went up to London with Tom where he planned to watch the game with friends. I was going to meet Siobhan and have girly drinks elsewhere. We stopped at the bookies (gross I know) briefly before the game, and I did place a small bet. I bet £1.50 to make it more interesting: £1 on Flood to score the first try because I think he is the fittest man starting in the game, and £0.50 for Italy to win at the half and England to win in the end. I lost both bets. Flood assisted the first try rather than scoring it and England dominated the entire game destroying Italy with an end score of 59 - 13. Siobhan and I watched the first half before going for a couple glasses of bubbly at a bar around the corner from the pub were the boys were. We had a lovely catch up.
There was more rugby we didn't watch that night and again on Sunday and there will be more next weekend and the weekend after that for sure. Luckily I do kind of enjoy the game. I'd say it is one of my favourites to watch, behind baseball of course. Who will the 6 Nations champion be this year? I don't know who to predict, must watch and see.
Love
