Summary
Out came the Welsh and English fifteens at Cardiff, and Risman kicked off for England. The rains of this dreadfully wet Winter had done their worst, and it was surprising that players weren’t completely stuck in the mud. Considering the conditions, however, the pace was quite hot. The result: six three to Wales.
