Rugby Union: England narrowly beat Wales today, 25-21, in their Six Nations clash in London. It was a sobering yet stirring experience for the TV audience in Wales, a loss but not the thrashing that loomed when England went 19-0 up a few minutes into the second half.
Apart from Wales' three tries, the best bit of watching Wales lose was seeing England coach Eddie Jones' face when Wales scored their third try. The prospect of his England team losing to its bitterest rivals, in what would have been the greatest comeback in the history of the sport, shit the poor Aussie up so badly that he looked like he was going to cry.
Is this a pyrrhic defeat? I'm not sure, but the knowledge that our boys must have, literally, made hundreds or even thousands of English rugby fans crap their pants is something that should be celebrated.
