Notwithstanding the fact that Rugby was played before motorsport was invented and myself being from those western wetlands commonly called Wales. But congrations to Wales in securing a 26-19 win over our cousins who reside east of Offa's Dyke.  Can I finish that pint of Brains' now in peace. |

Yep, great result. 20 years since the last win at Twickenham. I think England contributed by losing their way a bit in the second half, but take nothing away from the Welsh boys. This, speaking as an Englishman living in Wales and just coming home from the pub, having watched it with them. There's always a great atmosphere in the pubs here when the rugby is on and no animosity, unlike the game with the round ball.....

Hi Leftie, Happiness is having Welsh friends  Congratulations on winning the game. I would however like to point out. Motorsport is mentioned in the Bible which is more than can be said for Rugby.

Hi Leftie, Happiness is having Welsh friends Congratulations on winning the game. I would however like to point out. Motorsport is mentioned in the Bible which is more than can be said for Rugby. " Moses came Fourth in his Triumph...... they don't tell us who was on the podium though Phil Phil, You're very observant with that one mate. But the Bible also says 'God burnt up the desert in his Triumph', so presumable it was a drag race. So I would presume Moses borrowed the Triumph and God placed him as a named driver or there were two of them!!! |

Hi Leftie, Only two in a Drag race so that must have been a different event. as Triumph is the only marque mentioned maybe they were all Triumphs and not Audi's as Barry suggests. Or just bad coverage by the print media again. Phil |

Phil, Excellent post, brought a nice smile to the face this morning. Mind you, David's Triumph must have had a knackered exhaust, because his was "heard thoughout the land".......  MG Mark |

And the big man himself must have had a liking for a nice classic American Plymouth, because he drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury..... MG Mark |

Mark,
I think I agree with Any, Biblical quote and all that.
So, the race was between Triumph's and Fury's. Results we now have - Triumph, Fury, ?, Triumph. The '?' must have been 'Excaliber'.

In fact, didn't Wales beet England in 1999 at Twicker's! I'll check up. |
