Grand Slam!

Okay I know very few if any of you will care about this (apart from maybe Shango and J-M) but I couldn't let this forum be left out in celebrating Wales winning the 6 Nations!

Mike Ruddock's side held their nerve to beat Ireland at home for the first time since 1983 and clinch the Six Nations.

A first-half try from Gethin Jenkins helped Wales to a 16-6 interval lead, with Gavin Henson weighing in with a drop goal and a long-range penalty.

Kevin Morgan's try put them 29-6 up but tries from Marcus Horan and Geordan Murphy ensured a nervous finale.

But Wales, for whom fly-half Stephen Jones added 16 points with the boot, held on to complete a remarkable transformation in fortunes. They failed to win a match in the Six Nations two years ago, but under Ruddock they have flourished by reverting to the adventurous style of old.
What a wonderful day it was in Cardiff everyone was going crazy and were soooo happy since rugby is our national sport, and when the rugby teams doing well we're all happy!
