Having missed the match at Twickenham, because of the Foot and Mouth and having devoted a lot of my mind to that unpleasant subject, I have only just started digesting the sporting results from the weekend. I'm not a great follower of sport but these two events were attention grabbers.

Twickenham - how could I have missed this one, of all matches, despite having had a ticket? That's life - 62-5! - that was even with JW uncharacteristically missing a few kicks but still joins the 900 club. Nine tries (four from Easter) - there can hardly have been time for a pitstop. One can only feel for the Welsh, as it all went so badly wrong for them.

As for the Hungarian Grand Prix, what it lacked in race thrills (as usual for that beastly cicuit), it made up for in politics. Lewis Hamilton and McLaren won for Britain (perhaps because of Alonso's penalty). A row between two drivers, for heaven knows what reason, really shouldn't spill over into the public domain. After all, it is the public who fund them, in the long run. Poor old Ron Dennis has a headache, now, as a result of forfeiting his team's winning points, apparently through no fault of his own and having a feuding team to cope with. It can't be good. He'd better have another glass of champers.

British Sport gets a lift, anyway.
