defeat

what a game it was! for some reason, they decided to have one of the IV Nations matches on a Friday night (probably some clash with the use of the stadium), and so last night saw Wales play France in Paris. and it was amazing. i didn't see the whole thing, but Wales was completely in control of the game in the first half until the last minute, when France equalised. the second half, though, was truly French. i don't know why, but the Welsh seemed to lose their cool after France got yet another penalty. but the last 10 mns of the game were amazing! France was leading by 5 points, so all Wales needed was a try and a conversion. when you know that they have a habit of coming back in the last 30mns of the game, it still seemed possible, especially when they nearly scored that try with only 2 mns left. it was great rugby, but unfortunately, the Red Dragons didn't make it. depending on how they play the last 2 games against Italy (easy) and Ireland (the current leader), they can still win the title, but the Grand Slam's definitely out this year...
