Take a dreary wet afternoon in the Welsh Valleys
Add thirty girls (plus subs) with lots of racing adrenaline
Copious quantities of gooey, black, coal-dust laden mud - and why can't you clean that muddy ball on your team mate's shirt?
A referee with a somewhat ironic sponsor
An impressive breakaway run
The odd hospital pass from your fellow flanker in the face of a feisty opposition hooker
A nice lineout set piece or two
Some less than sportsmanlike stamping from the Welsh opposition (naughty naughty!!! - thank goodness my daughter wasn't in the bottom there)
And it's quite easy to step from this..........
To this............
In a matter of 80 minutes!
Of course being the team coach isn't always a hazard free occupation
But even a 12 - nil defeat didn't dampen their delight - the shorts took some getting white again though!
Such a privilege to play for your national side - roll on this Friday and the return fixture on home turf!
And just in case you thought this has metamorphasised into a totally rugby blog
I have been merrily cracking on with that baby quilt

Nice, NICE baby quilt!
Win or lose doesn't matter . . . . it's the smile on your girl's face at the end of the day *s*
Roll on the return match. Something tells me that Wales could just meet their match.
Lovely spring colours.
I've only got one question...what the heck to you use to get those uniforms white again! You should let the company know...they might send you some free samples :o)
Great pictures..just like a sports journalist pro! :o)
Congrats to all concerned.
I was concerned about the missing quilting, haha!
I notice Sarah's shorts ARE the dirtiest!
Well done Girls!!! Never mind the quilts - not everyone has a daughter who plays such fine rugby!!!!
