Normality returns

Meanwhile, despite the round ball hype, real sport is still being played.
All Blacks 34, Ireland 23.
Wallabies 34, England 3.

Sleep well, the world has returned to normal.

Not quite:

Argentina 27 - Wales 25

Gareth Jenkins saw his first match in charge of Wales end with a narrow loss to Argentina on Sunday.

His inexperienced side took the lead in Puerto Madryn, with tries from Mark Jones and Ian Evans bracketing a score from Juan Manuel Leguizamon.

But two sin-binnings left the visitors short-handed, Argentina wing Jose Maria Nunez Piossek making them pay.

A Francisco Leonelli try sealed the home side's win, with James Hook's late effort not quite enough for Wales.

Despite the strong Welsh links in Puerto Madryn - it was founded by Welsh settlers in 1865 - Wales had never played a Test before in the Patagonia region of Argentina.

Not a bad result for Wales considering the team they had. I think that they should take encouragement from that display !!

The secondary sports only become of interest when the main event is over.
