tell you what, french chocolate is weird. it's like chilli chocolate without the chillis. to know what i'm on about, you need to have tried chilli chocolate.
today. a strange day. i woke up and spent 3 hours in what i'd slept in last night before changing my bed and putting up the six nations wallchart. then i finished off a whole bar of the french chocolate (a feat which will be repeated very soon). and then it was time - the six nations had began. the anthems of ireland echoed around croke park, and always i had that speechless feeling when i hear ireland's call. but that was as good as it got. geordan murphy demonstrated time and time again today how to butcher opportunities to score tries. i hope for ireland's sake jerry flannery's ban is lifted, cause simon best was off form today. bernard jackman did alright, but to be honest, he didn't have much to work with. trimble's off-load to girvan dempsey was sheer class. as was vainikolo's to flood at twickers. i was ashamed after the first half. considering we have shaun edwards, one of the greatest defence coaches in rugby today, the defence in the first half was shite. and it didn't really improve in the second half. we were just lucky that most of the england team went off injured and the rest had what i can only imagine to be a nervous breakdown. except for haskell. to be fair, he was outstanding today. he's a tank, and i fear teams like england and scotland because they have forwards like haskell: big and brutal players - and they know it. we, however, are gifted with lazy forwards that prefer to think they're backs.
maybe that's a bit harsh. ok, i'll admit, the last 10 - 20 minutes of the match was impressive, but today's game was won by the backs. i thought lee byrne had a really good game, and i would've thought that he deserved man of the match more than hook. and phillips had a great 20 minutes at the end. i was shouting at the tv after he charged down gomarsall for the second time. and then i thought he'd fucked it up after he missed the hack-on. but, i was wrong lol. so, yeah. all in all a good day for the celtic nations. better for us than the irish, but still - a win's a win. and we're top of the table. and the best part is england are at the bottom - beneath italy. woop!
i need to go to VO next time i'm in paris. my parents got me an animal top when they were there from wednesday to friday, and it's one of the coolest bags i've ever seen. it's got a kid pegged on a clothes line, a buddha and some barechested ladies. what more could you want, lol?
