Six Nations 2012 is underway (sort of)

Ireland and Wales kicked off today to begin this year's Six Nations... but came to a premature end when the game was called off at half-time due to a frozen pitch.

Scores:

• 12 min: Ireland 7, Wales 0 (try from Alison Miller (pictured right), converted by Niamh Briggs)
• 31 min: Ireland 7, Wales 3. Wales, down to 14, score with a penalty.
• 40 min: Ireland 10, Wales 3. Penalty (Briggs)
• Half time. Match abandoned.

Apparently if 60 minutes had been played the result would have stood. For now it has been announced that the Six Nations fixtures committee will agree a new date early next week for a replay at Ashbourne RFC.

There is a certain irony that the two teams that play least may, in this years Six Nations, have to play most!
