World Cup can’t come soon enough

FOR a Six Nations tournament that lacked quality for the most part, the drama and tension on offer on the last day made for an intriguing finale.

Last Saturday’s climax produced three intense contests with a total of 23 tries. Who needs Super 14 rugby?

As anticipated at the beginning of the tournament, the margin between the top sides was so tight that it was unlikely any team would land the Grand Slam. It is no consolation therefore that of the six participants, Ireland came closest.
