Saturday saw a great day at Old Deer Park which opened with a win for London Welsh and closed with an historic win for Wales over England.

One O'clock saw London Welsh kick off against Bedford and within twenty minutes Welsh had three tries in the bag and it looked like it was going to be a long afternoon for Bedford and their travelling supporters, but that was not to be the case and whilst Welsh let off the gas Bedford upped the pace and came charging back.

They played some great stuff arounfd the set piece and left us scrambling in defence at times, but in the end Welsh manged to winkle out the fourth try and clung on for the bonus point win.

Then all that was left was to sit back, enjoy a few pints in the sunshine and wait nervously for the evenings match against England, and what a game that turned out to be.

Wales were getting beaten up in the scrum and it was only Dan Biggar's faultless kicking display and some stout defendingthat kept us within reach on the scoreboard, at least and with twenty minutes to go it looked like all was lost as the Welsh players were dropping like flies.

But with players out of position all over the pitch a fantastic kick from the wing and a fantastic fingertip pick up saw that all important converted try scored, and was followed up by another fantastic kick from Biggar, on the halfway line, to take Wales into the lead.

Englands decision to go for the win proved costly as wales defended the resulting line out brilliantly and the rest as they say is history.

Another great international day at Old Deer Park was celebrated late into the night, with I'm sure plenty of sore heads the next day.

What are your thoughts on both games and particularly Wales' chances in the World Cup.
