Part one:~
As I write this England's women are the World Cup holders in both Cricket and Rugby. In a couple of hours that could have changed, or it could not have. I have a pizza in the oven a cold beer at my side as I settle down to watch the final of the Women's Rugby World Cup.
I have really enjoyed watching this World Cup, of course Rugby is my game and has the added attraction that my Country always has a good chance of success. This is the first time there has been proper coverage of the Women's game and it has been brilliant. It is not just that England are better than most of the others, it is that there has been some excellent Rugby being played. I may have started to watch the competition as a way of supporting "The Sisterhood" but I have carried on because I love Rugby.
Sure some of the teams are not yet quite up to the standard set by the best, but isn't the case in all tournaments? Certainly England and New Zealand, the finalist, are the pick of the bunch and the most complete teams, but that doesn't mean that some of the others are knocking hard on the door. Indeed the France Vs England Semi Final was one of the best games of Rugby I have ever watched ~ period!
My Pizza is almost cooked and the match is about to begin after the Black Ferns perform their Hakka. SO far the only conclusion I have come to is that it is just as well that New Zealand don't win much in sport as their National Anthem is not one of the best tunes around!
