Well, in Super Rugby news as the match between the Chiefs & Hurricanes ended in a draw in Hamilton while the Highlanders match with the Crusaders has been called off on Saturday (That was indeed the right decision by the Crusaders because they were in favour of cancelling the match) in Dunedin due to the terrible events unfolded (Well, something has just happened) on Friday including that dreadful mass mosque shootings in Christchurch that I will not talk about on my blog today which claimed 50 innocent lives (Our thoughts, prayers & condolences are with you, unbelievable that had just happened so rest in paradise to our Muslim brothers right here in New Zealand) but here are the other results from round 5:
Brumbies 19 - 13 Waratahs
Stormers 35 - 8 Jaguares
Sunwolves 31 - 34 Reds
Lions 36 - 33 Rebels
And finally Wales win the Six Nations crown (A fitting farewell for outgoing Wales coach Warren Gatland but Wales go into the 2019 Rugby World Cup as the Six Nations champions), denying Ireland the chance to successfully defend their crown by winning both the grand slam & triple crown in Cardiff (Including that only try for Wales by Kiwi born player Hadleigh Parkes who had just scored after 2 minutes straight after the beginning of the match while player of the game honours went to another New Zealand born player Gareth Anscombe) while the match between England (Brad Shields was another one of those Kiwi born players playing for England along with Mako Vunipola & Ben Te'o while France has Uini Atonio, Ireland has both Bundee Aki & Joey Carbery, Italy has Dean Budd, Jayden Hayward & Jimmy Tuivati, Scotland has both Simon Berghan, Nick Grigg & Sean Maitland & Wales has got both Anscombe & Parkes as I mentioned before) & Scotland ended in a draw (England led 31 - 0 but Scotland came back by scoring 38 unanswered points & were on track for a win until England denied the Scots a famous victory at Twickenham at the death) then France defeat Italy in Rome ensuring that the Italians finish bottom of the Six Nations table for the 4th year in a row (Well, they don't belong in the Six Nations after so many losses but Georgia needs to be in the Six Nations after grabbing so many victories in the European Nations Cup (The 2nd tier European rugby competition).
So that is my 276th blog of the year 2019 (MMXIX) & my 16th of this year, mate wa.
