Canada has beaten the United States 19-12 but both teams need to be refreshed on the difference between a rugby tackle and an American or Canadian "football" tackle...
South Africa scored the first of many tries against Uruguay after less than 2 minutes by a sprint of... you guessed it number 10 Cecil Afrika!
And Wales was given the victory over France by the referee 14-12, but the last try by Wales was not a valid try, as the Frenchman put his hand under the ball and turned with the Welsh player, ending up both on their backs, so the ball never touched the ground! The commentator from Setanta said the Frenchman was upset at the try and vented his frustration to the referee (even got a verbal reminder from the referee) but the fact is that the Frenchman was right to complain that the ball never touched the ground. Oh well... the referee is part of the game, like sun, rain or mud... in this case it was rather mud...
And Kenya gave another demonstration against Scotland that they can run... mind you, we all knew that already from the athletism competitions.
Enjoy the rest of the games this week end.

Ireland Wales
.
What a game... Wales had not won in Ireland for 4 years... Wales had beaten Ireland in the quarter finals of the world cup when all forecasters were waiting for Ireland to go all the way to the final...
Today, Ireland had their chances, but Wales never quit and deserved to win, a game to keep on a DVD and to show your kids or students.
Of course, if you are Irish and you have a pacemaker,... don't watch!
Referee was not bad in the end, better than in New Zealand. The two red cards he gave were red cards in my books... but I guess at least it was consistent.
If you have not seen the game... find a friend who recorded it! and watch it!
PS: on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give an 8 to this game. And... a 2 to the Superbowl of this afternoon...
My guess is that the grand slam will be won or lost at France - Wales in Wales... unless Ireland wants revenge when the French come and visit... dont miss these coming games...
