The Six Nations season is well underway, which means the return of the parliamentary tournament too. Two weeks ago the Westminster team delivered the sporting equivalent of a Section 35 order, when they beat their Holyrood equivalent 17-10 in a feisty match that saw multiple yellow cards awarded for the first time in a Commons & Lords game. Good to see no love lost…
But today saw an even tougher test for the Westminster side, when they faced a Senedd squad comprised of the finest talent that Cardiff Bay has to offer. And while the Welsh national team is currently facing a few difficulties, its parliamentary side has no such problems. They eased to a 10-0 victory – ‘which is good as the Welsh normally batter us’, in the words of one London player. Ben Everitt – the Lawrence Dallaglio of Milton Keynes – distinguished himself at flanker while Lewis Leach of FGS Global took the man of the match gong.
