England played Scotland today int the rugby Six Nations tournament. The English got one national anthem played and the Scots had two. Confused? Firstly, get the thought that England and the United Kingdom are the same thing out of your head - they're not. Scotland had Flower of Scotland, the Scottish national song, played as their anthem. England had God Save the Queen as their anthem. God Save the Queen is the national anthem of the United Kingdom, not England. Now I'm not saying God Save the Queen shouldn't have been played because England and Scotland are both part of the UK and it is therefore the national anthem for both England and Scotland. What irks me is the fact that it was played as the English national anthem and it isn't. There is no English national anthem but as far as rugby is concerned, Swing Low Sweet Chariot is the English national anthem. In the absence of an English national anthem, we should have had a song that is immediately identifiable with English rugby.

England made up for their abysmal performance in the Six Nations tournament this year by demolishing the Scots 43-22. The first half was a walk in the park but the Scots came out fighting in the second half and brought the scores a bit closer. Their offensive lasted a good 10-15 minutes before they lay down and let England walk all over them again until a final 5 minutes of frenzied rugby. A fantastic match, marred only by a poor finishing position (4th out of 6) in the tournament. Ah well, who needs the Six Nations when we have the World Cup in our trophy cabinet?

I didn't lose any weight last week but I didn't put any on either, possibly down to all the chips (fries to our American friends) and stuff I was eating last week.
