Wales win the Grand Slam
Their 29-12 victory gave Wales their second Grand Slam in four years. Wales had too much for France in the last twenty minutes, scoring two tries. England should have tried harder to recruit Shaun Edwards (defence coach) -Wales conceded only two tries in the entire tournament. England's win earlier in the day meant they finished as runners-up on points difference. Prior to that game I had thought dropping Jonny was a mistake. However his replacement, Cipriani, played brilliantly at fly-half, converting all seven goal kicks (3 convs, 4 pens)
Prem title race
Four consecutive draws, & despite losing only once this season, Arsenal have lost top spot. (Under the old system of two points for a win Arsenal would be two points clear). Just like in the 2002-2003 season, Arsenal seem to choking at the run-in, to hand the initiative to Man United. They did play a fantastic game to eliminate Milan from UCL though. Who would have thought the Rossoneri would be outpassed & outplayed in their own stadium ?
Chelsea are still only three points behind, the title race is still far too close to call.
The Hayemaker
As I predicted in my last blog, David Haye knocked out Enzo Maccarinelli last Saturday. Haye will move up to heavyweight, as he's been struggling to make the cruiserweight limit. The heavy
division does not have any exceptional boxers at the moment, but Haye, as a natural cruiser, may struggle against some of the bigger guys.
