| There was only one consolation at the weekend and that was being in Dublin.
I didn't have tickets for the match, I was just on a weekend visit to stay with my son who lives and works over there. He lives in Waterloo Road which is just a couple of streets away from Landsdowne Road so the whole area he lives in was rammed with rugby fans on Sunday.
Naturally, being 10 minutes walk from Dublin's city centre, it would've been rude not to go up there and lash a fair few pints of Guiness down - so there we were in the alley outside O'Donoghues having a 'lively' debate with the hordes of Welsh fans who were over. One of the things I love about Rugby is that you can still give people some banter and walk away unscathed. In a drunken moment I said to a stocky welshman that had definitely served his time in the front row for some team or other "No offence taff, but I hope you get well and truly tanked by the Irish tomorrow"
31 - 5....Oh how I laughed!
Don't get me wrong, I've nothing agin the Welsh, it's just that when it comes to Rugby if I can't see England win, then seeing Wales lose is the next best thing
