Overseas or can't attend Ipswich

[cidered abroad]

Agree with Cidered about the game.
Can't remember a better day out watching a game - as good as winning away with City.
Cardiff centre was a joy, fans from both sides mingling with not a hint of malice or trouble.

Inside the stadium was fantastic, I loved the the male voice choir leading the crowd in Bread of Heaven and particularly Calon Lan.
It was a favourite of my mother.
And the Anthem topped the lot for me, I couldn't care, I was a total mess.

It was a wonderful day, one I will treasure always.

I'm very pleased for you. Next year may not be so easy to get tickets. I'm in WRU Supporters Club and this year got a chance to buy before they go on general sale, But next year with only two home games including one v England, so maybe not get that opportunity. If I do I'll PM you.

Cidered - I really hope you get tickets for the next 6 Nations, especially if it's against England.
I was able to go this year as my mate's Dad, who played for London Welsh and who has also sung in the choir pre-match, couldn't attend.
He has Debenture seats secured 40 odd years ago and I'm first reserve should be be unable to attend next year.
I understand football, not much according to some/most, but definitely not Rugby. Wasn't the first Welsh try scorer offside ?

I watched the match again on I Player. He was not offside when Biggar made the up and under kick and it appeared that while he was marginally in front of the ball as one Scot and one Welsh tried to catch it, it seems that it was the Scottish player who played it last. Thus he was not offside although I stand to be corrected by anyone with greater knowledge of the rules.

Good enough for me Cidered.

I watched the recording yesterday and it was fully discussed by the commentators. It appears that as Davies was onside when Biggar made the kick, he was not offside as the ball arrived to him via a Scottish hand when jumping to attempt a catch.
I stand to be corrected by those with greater knowledge of the laws.

The most important rule in rugby is the ref is always right, did you notice not one player challenges the refs decision. To be honest the rules throw me and I've even got coaching papers but that was from the same time as the Millenium was built, so lots of changes since then.
I keep saying to some on here that they ought to just experience the whole day once in Cardiff on rugby 6 nations day, so glad that you enjoyed it.
