We won!

31-17! 31-17! 31-17!

Wales has not won a Six Nations game since March 2023; that's 15 games and 1,099 days. And what a way to do it. At half-time they were leading 21-0 and no-one was quite believing what they were seeing. The second half was a little more stressful as Italy battled back into the game, but, oh my, what a game.

I'm surprised I'm not hoarse today. 

GrandSon3 and I both had dragons on our faces. GrandSon1 was too cool for that but not too cool for a sheep hat. I was tempted to buy a dragon hat but when I tried one on I realised it looked like a giant red willy hanging from the front.



We had a fab time. I'm so glad we decided to go. The atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic.

    Congrats to you and to Wales! Love your dragon face paint! And yes, wise of you to pass on that dragon hat.

    Congrats on the win. I guess with the hat, once you see it you can't unsee it

      No, although other people were wearing them. Maybe it was just me!

      I think so. One for the archives.

    That’s a treat for you. I’ve just watched my hockey team (as in real hockey) lose on two consecutive nights and look pretty average while doing so.
