Technical glitch means Wales can't shut Millennium Stadium roof for tonight's clash with France

This changes everything!

ANOTHER MATCHDAY IN Cardiff where the Millennium Stadium roof is doing its level best to upstage the players beneath it.

In the Six Nations both teams involved must agree before the roof can be shut over Walesโ€™ home ground. This week, France followed Scotlandโ€™s lead in agreeing to the climactic change that a closed roof would bring.

Today, however, the WRU have had to abandon the plan and a โ€˜technical issueโ€™ means Wales and France will play in the open air.

The teams were informed of the technical glitch earlier today.

    Ireland need Wales to win at home tonight! We then need Ireland to beat England. Then in the two remaining weekends we need the following to win the cโ€™ship
    1) Ireland to beat Scotland & Italy at home โ€“ good odds
    2) Wales to lose to England in Twickenham โ€“ good odds
    3) Scotland to beat France in Murrayfield โ€“ reasonable odds
    4) Finally, we need England to lose in Parisโ€ฆ.hmmn??

    So folks, win this weekend and weโ€™re sort of back in the game!!
