Small world

September 15, 2007

Today the world looked really small. A thick layer of mist, clouds and rain obscured the otherwise wide views we have over the loch. Strong winds made the rain go horizontal. Claire went out to feed the rabbit and that was it. Not to worry though, as this gave us excellent opportunity to do some house cleaning and also made it just very easy to sit in front of the telly and watch all three rugby matches today…

New Zealand - Portugal
The All Blacks obliterated the Portugese with 108 - 13. Great match with some awesome rugby. New Zealand has strong offensive play but maybe lacks a bit in their defense.

Wales - Australia
Very, very interesting match with Australia winning with 32 - 20. This game was played in Cardiff. The Welsh had a hard time penetrating the Australian defense which was extremely well organized.

Ireland - Georgia
Ireland just escaped with 14 - 10 from Georgia. Close to the end there was a near try for Georgia which would have made them the winning team but alas, the referee decided otherwise. Not such a high level game play but very entertaining near the end.
