The Old Arcade

The Old Arcade, Cardiff

In the end there was really only one place to watch the match. The Old Arcade stands next to the covered Market in the centre of Cardiff and has been a pub since 1844. Yesterday it was crammed with people wearing red rugby shirts and holding pints of beer. The noise was deafening, the singing loud and everyone in the place sang the Welsh National Anthem along with the team at Twickenham. Even with all this solid support Wales almost didn't pull it off but nearing the end came the try and the the whole place erupted. So Wales have the Triple Crown and next month will meet France at the Millennium Stadium. I will be at the Stadium with my two sons to see it and I can't wait!
