The blind side: putting the boot into the Six Nations ruck by ruck

MAN OF THE DAY Around 100 players were involved on Saturday but Leigh Halfpenny 's from-his-own-half penalty to put Wales 13-6 up took the biscuit. Remember, he missed a similar long-range effort in the World Cup semi-final against the French. Redemption. RUNNER-UP Commentator Jonathan Davies . He was rather happy. TRADITION WATCH As we have previously observed, it's not unusual to see Tom Jones at a big Wales rugby day. Or male voice choir on the pitch. Or indeed a pre-match rendition of Delilah. It's a fine line between tradition and cliche, but there can't be many watching who weren't moved by the rousing Hymns and Arias in those delicious seconds when victory was assured but the ball was still in play. Well done Wales. WEATHERWATCH Over seven weeks the BBC crew have sported thick coats in Paris, bobble hats in snowy Rome and open shirts in the Dublin sunshine. On Saturday the BBC Sport umbrellas were out for Jeremy Guscott and co on the Cardiff touchline. But minutes before kick off the clouds parted and sunshine streamed into the stadium. Who writes Wales's scripts? SINGERS OF THE DAY Not the Cardiff crowd but Brian Moore , Mike Catt, Colin Charvis, Austin Healey et al who sang the Sport Relief song Proud, with solos, in front of the Twickenham crowd. Mentored by JLS – yes, really – they will do it all again on BBC1 on Friday. LIFE AS IT SHOULD BE? The BBC provided great coverage over seven hours , though the final day often attracts criticism from TV viewers dismayed by wall-to-wall rugby. Well, don't tell anyone, but at 2pm as Italy rubbed Scotland's noses in it on BBC1, the viewing alternatives were: Formula One highlights (BBC2), the Everton v Sunderland Cup tie (ITV1) and racing from Uttoxeter (Channel 4). Too much? We couldn't possibly comment. SPOON OF THE DAY The wooden one won by Scotland, their first since 2007. It may be metaphorical but one was paraded. Good job there wasn't a real one to present to the luckless Scotland team – they would only have dropped it.
