Today I watched Six Nations Rugby.
The first game, between Scotland and Ireland was played at Murrayfield, and broadcast by BBC. Pundits, like Jeremy Guscott and John Inverdale and spectators, such as James Nesbitt, are important participants.
After this, ITV broadcast the match between England and France held at Twickenham. The pundits in this batch of photographs are Johnny Wilkinson, Brian O’Driscoll, and Sir Clive Woodward.
This evening we dined on succulent roast lamb with mint sauce; creamy mashed potatoes; and crisp carrots and broccoli, with which I finished the bottle of Doom Bar that had accompanied my afternoon’s viewing.
Great action shots, Derrick. I’m curious, does Jackie enjoy watching Rugby or are you holed up in a room by yourself? My Derek is obsessed with professional English football. He watches alone, while I write. 🙂
Jackie potters around. She’s not really interested but encourages me beautifully. Thanks, Jill
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn …….. 🙂
You and Jackie both. 🙂 Thanks
🙂 We missed out on the sporting genes – must have been down at the wine bar at the time 😀
Another yaaaaaaaawn from this corner.
I won’t focus on today’s match 🙂
Things did not go my way today. Splendid reminders. 🙂
Thanks, Oglach. I had to crope out the scoreboard. And we only scraped it.
Great shots, Derrick! We don’t have sports on the telly too often here, but once in awhile make room for American football, tennis, or most often, boxing.
Gosh. Saturdays here are dominated by sport, mostly soccer. Thanks Luanne
Lots here, too, but not in this house because the gardener mainly likes boxing ;).
Super Bowl Sunday today here in the states so I am watching the Kitten Bowl!
Not a fan of rugby, but will stare at the players legs for a bit…😊
🙂 Thanks, Persia
well I was there; Twickenham was lacking atmosphere until the last 10 minutes. Bit of a waste of time really
Agreed. Thanks, Geoff
Meanwhile, back on Australia, the first women’s AFL (Australian Football League) got off to a roaring start this weekend.
Excellent. Thanks, Yvonne
It isn’t rugby, nor soccer. It’s Aussie, mate.
an’ it’s wimmin innit?
Football – groan.
Sometimes I just can’t help myself. Thanks, Mary.
You certainly got some great pictures there Derrick, obviously a die hard supporter.
Your supper made my mouth water, roast lamb and mint sauce is absolutely great, I recall my first wife always used to have Yorkshire pudding and gravy with them.
Cheers.
Thanks, Ian. Actually, I played both rugby and cricket until I was 45 and moved the Midlands and considered it too late to join new clubs. Yorkshire pudding perfects the dish 🙂
Wow so much action!
Thanks, Lynn. Much tougher than in my day
haha
not a fun of rugby but u have great shots…
Thank you, smart Mum
It looks like you had a good time watching the game.
My husband will be watching the Super Bowl tonight. I’ll watch something else upstairs. 🙂
🙂 Thanks a lot, Merril
Some good results. England, as usual came close to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. 🙂
I agree on all counts, Quercus. Thanks
