Rugby union is also the most popular team sport in Wales. Even piped football in the popularity league which is saying quite a bit in otherwise soccer-mad Britain.

I was watching the post-match interview given by Phil Vickery, the English skipper who looked like his heart had skipped a beat or two when he had to face the hoard of rabidly angry English journalists at the press conference. I must say I pitied the bloke - he looked shellshocked.

I didn't watch any of the recent matches, but France did well. She has come from behind in the latest two games to prevail now; at this rate, she is going to achieve another grand slam.

PS: I am shocked the Pumas are above England. Is this a permanent shakeup of the world order?

Not only are TWO South African teams going through to the Super 14 semi finals, they took the two top positions on the log.

The Sharks (from Durban) secured top position by beating the Stormers (Cape Town) today. The Blue Bulls (Pretoria) had a difficult task. A victory with four tries (meaning a bonus point) would have placed them on par with the Crusaders and the Auckland Blues on 42 points each. But the Bulls had the lowest points average of the three teams, which would officially placed them in fourth position. They had the mammoth task of beating the Reds by at least 72 points to secure second place (and a home semi final). They did more than that.... they won by 92-3!! (Shame, I always feel sorry for a team which loses like that.)

So two teams in the semi finals, and a good change of an all-SA final! That bodes well for the World Cup.

This is turning into a good season for me!

Yesterday my favourite team, Griquas, won the Vodacom Cup for the third time. And my old school is currently placed 11th on the list of top rugby schools in the country, their best position ever.
