Go Jonny Go

I am not a big Rugby fan its just the internationals that capture my imagination. Perhaps it was having welsh sports teachers who were devastated when Bill Beaumont's mob did the grand slam.

It was with some trepidation that I turned the telly on to watch the England v Scotland game. We had been stuffed by all and sundry but Jonny was back. Wilkinson the man who had not played for England since winning the world cup was back and ........ wow can the man read the script. He did everything stitches, blood, guts, class, a "bit" of luck. He was well served by the return of Billy Whizz Jason Robinson, Andy Farrell after only eight games did his job well and Harry Ellis stepped up to the plate.

Perhaps equally pertinent were the commens of Austin Healey when he said "everyone was played in there normal position". Exactly sport isn't rocket science.

We won't win the world cup, I doubt we'll win the six nations. There were too many mistakes too little time but we looked like a team!
