HALF TIME SCORE

TONGA 3 ~GEORGIA 10

Our Nige just spotted Georgia's number 7 wearing a neck pendant!

It should have been taken off before the game.

"You must take that off", he said "it's dangerous, we'll keep it safe for you!"

WELL DONE NIGE! :-)

I'M WATCHING THIS MATCH TO OBSERVE THE REFEREEING SKILLS OF...

OUR NIGE!

Nigel Owens from Mynyddcerrig in the Gwendraeth Valley, Carmarthenshire.... not so very far away from me ;-)

Who is considered among Rugby Experts as the BEST RUGBY UNION REFEREE IN THE WORLD!

You just have to listen to how he explains his decisions to the players. And how he discplines them! Warning England's Chris Robshaw once he just said "CHRISTOPHER!" in a stern voice, and Chris was silent!:-D


Nigel is also a STAND-UP COMEDIAN and he can sing too (quite well) ;-)

Our Nige once famously told the teams at a line-out..."I'M STRAIGHTER THAN YOU!" :-D

WALES LOVES YOU NIGEL OWENS :-D :-D <3

DID YOU ALL ENJOY THE OPENING CEREMONY?

Who enjoyed the little film of the History Of Rugby?

Legend has it that Rugby as we know it had it's start in Rugby School in 1823, when WILLIAM WEBB ELLIS got fed-up of just kicking a ball around and so he...
PICKED IT UP AND STARTED RUNNING! :-D :-D :-D

I've got to admit that that film made me quite emotional!


Here is that Opening Ceremony Film again!
