It was disappointing to see such a lot of error-ridden and boring rugby in the opening two games of the Six Nations tournament last night. The endless aimless kicking makes for a poor spectacle, and to have attacking play succeed only when one side is down to 14 men doesn't say much for the state of the game. The rules-tweakers at the IRB really need to un-tweak a few things before players forget how to run effectively with the ball in hand...
But, on a more positive note, it was good to watch a bit of rugby again, warts and all.
On another positive note, I was in town on business today and with three hours to kill between appointments went for a browse at a local mall. At the entrance there happened to be a table full of books in English, all at 70% off. That's my light reading for the plane trip to NZ taken care of!
