Firstly, no sour grapes, congratulations to Wales on a well deserved Grand Slam. Who would have thought just a few months ago when they bombed out of the World Cup to Fiji that here they would be having swept all in the 6N before them. Who would believe as well that they would have completed the feat twice in 4 years, compared to England’s shocking record in that period? In some ways this Slam was similar to the one in 2005, both started with victories over England and Wales growing in stature from that point, but this was vintage was a better achievement.
It could all have been so different had England not gone totally AWOL for twenty minutes in that first match, but ifs and buts feed the regrets of bitterness and England have nobody save themselves to blame. Perhaps seeing the achievements of the men in red will stir the men in white to greater deeds and the “old farts” in the RFU to action…. if only eh?
