In the Rugby Union 6 Nations match today, England gave Scotland a resounding thumping to win by a massive 89-0 scoreline (no reports available yet online, here's the build-up story on RFU website, hopefully a match report will appear there later). Player of the game Heather Fisher (who also represented Great Britain in bobsleigh) and several other players (notably Danielle Waterman, Katy McLean and Fran Matthews) put in highly professional performances and the scoreline represented the dominance shown by the England team. While there were a few mistakes, all-in-all it was some of the best rugby they have played recently.
Another star player from the game, Maggie "The Machine" Alphonsi, had an interview published in the Observer this morning, as well.
As a preamble to this event, the men's rugby team also played against their Scottish counterparts, but were unable to show the level of dominance that the women put together, scraping through for a 22-16 win.
The absolute star of the day's events has to have been "Grant", the fox.
I suppose the sexist remark by the commentators was inevitable :-(

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
