WRWC 2010: Day 1 Wrap

, , , , , , , , , , ,

My day started with the second half of the opening fixture, Scotland v Canada. Scotland matched the Canadians try for try in the second half but unfortunately they had taken a bit of a pounding in the first and lost the game 37 – 10. Canada looked sleek and powerful and played some lovely rugby a good outside bet in my book.

Next I caught up with Ireland’s other pool opponents USA and Kazakhstan with the USA eventually dominating this match as much as their highly vocal, and scantly clad, supporters dominated the touchlines, winning 51 – 0. It was hard not to feel a degree of sympathy for the Kazakhstan team as they had the USA rattled in the first half and were unfortunate to go in at half time 13 – 0 down. The USA found the gaps as their opponents tired and ran in a feast of tries in the closing quarter.

    I travelled to the game with a crew of girls from Young Munster RFC & we were so proud of the Irish performance, the final score certainly didn’t reflect the game and effort we witnessed by the Irish girls. Best of luck v USA, an opening game like that contest v England has to stand to us. Build on it girls & throw everything at them! We’ll all be rooting for you!! Come on Ireland!!

    that was a real cracking game and the result definitely didnt reflect the effort and skill the irish girls produced. The final score flattered england so heads up and bring on the u s a .Tough watching from the bench BUT youre there and your chance will come BE READY, untill then keep looking glamerous at the side and keep the downey shouting going.
