The 6 Nations 2010

[Chloe O'brien]

Well bless my Leprachan. Can you believe it Scotland beat Ireland. What's going on there? Did someone foreget to put Guiness in O'Driscoll's porridge this morning? Pity it wa the last game of the six nations and not the first. Scotland may have had a few more points then.

Fair play to scotland theywere better team. My mam was very happy. Not the best way to finish the croke park years but entertaining game.

Well done to Scotland. Ireland squandered many chances with their appalling passing and needless giving away of penalties. The ball went with Scotland who if they had got the breaks in earlier matches would have had a shot at the triple crown. They are definately a team to watch for the next season.

Ireland gave it all away

Ireland's Tommy Bowe won the fans' vote for Six Nations player of the year.

The Ospreys winger, 26, beat off competition from last year's winner Brian O'Driscoll as well as France duo Imanol Harinordoquy and Morgan Parra.

Bowe scored three tries as the Irish finished second to France and missed out on the Triple Crown with a defeat at the hands of Scotland.

"To be named the player of the championship is a fantastic way to end what's been an exciting year," he said.

Bowe, who followed a superb Lions tour to South Africa last summer by producing an impressive Six Nations campaign, polled nearly 50% of the votes.

French number eight Harinordoquy was his closest challenger with 20.9% of the votes ahead of third-placed scrum-half Parra (11.5%).

Bowe added: "The tournament is always enjoyable and fantastic for rugby fans across Europe with some sensational, competitive rugby produced year after year.

"To be voted player of the championship by the fans is a huge compliment and I thank them for taking the time to vote."


Well Deserved I say
