mandragoraIt's been 27 years since the Welsh rugby team won anything. Today they won the Six Nations Championship, in a victory over Ireland. The score was 32-20.
I cried.
Normally I'd have been a bit conflicted. Should I support Ireland (where the ancestors on my father's side come from)? Or should I support Wales (the mother's family is of Welsh descent)? But there was non conflict today. I was rooting for Wales all the way. The beat the hotly fancied Irish team. They were the underdogs. They hadn't won *anything* for 27 years.
Brilliant, just brilliant. Here's to the renaissance of Welsh rugby and long may it last.
