Anyone else watching?

The Italy - France match today was pretty incredible.

For those not rugby fans, Italy is really the underdog for the whole tournament. For years people had kind of debated if they even belonged in the tournament. They came in last place last year by a wide margin.

France swept the tournament last year and is probably the #1 or #2 team in the tournament.

Italy lost, but it was a serious competition. They were up 3/4 of the way through. They kind of had a 'Rocky' moment. Not a win, but they made made France go the distance and really feel it.

We are now recovering in our airbnb, having flown from the PacNW to Rome by way of Athens and Santorini, to watch the match. yeah, we sorta used this game as an excuse to saunter all over the dern place but still, the first thing we did with this vaycay was buy the goldern rugby tix...

In reply to Jay_W :

Wife was saying that it would be fun to go watch Six Nations in person some year.

That must have been a hell of a crowd to be a part of.
