Je ne comprends pas....

So it looks like Ireland haven't gotten off to the best start. We lost against Wales last weekend by 2 points in the final seconds of the game and then the game against France is postponed. Such a pity for all the Irish fans who traveled to Paris for the weekend and for those who traveled into the city centre on a cold evening to watch the game :o) I had even recruited two new Irish fans (who are German). They found a great table in the Irish pub in front of the big screen, I was in the middle of explaining the basic rules of rugby (don't ask me any difficult questions!), and all of a sudden a lady is making an announcement on the pitch in the Stade de France, and everyone is going home, including the RTÉ panel. Hmmm...it doesn't look *that* cold. -4 you say. How come the Irish players are standing around in t-shirts then? I read today that the TV channel offered to broadcast the game at 3pm yesterday, instead of the planned time of 9pm. But the six nations organisation turned down the offer. Hindsight is a great thing! And I read this morning that England narrowly escaped a loss to Italy - wait a second, does that photo show them playing in the snow? Hmmm...makes me wonder :o) Roll on the next game in the tournament.
