This cava bottle costs 12.95€ (=14.18 US$) and can be bought in shops around the world or from their website.
still celebrating* scotland’s history win vs the auld enemy yesterday.
i wrote down my dream predictions before the tournament began:
scotland 34 - 25 england
actual final was 30 - 21! by itself, a favored, better team winning at home isn’t much of a big deal, anything that has been a regularly occurring event, something that has not happened since 1896 — scotland winning 4x in a row — is a big fuckin deal.
next up, italy at the stadio olympico, which, should not be overlooked anymore. italy should have beaten france today, in paris no less. then, if scots take care of business, a potentially monumental 6N title match in dublin. if england can pulla miracle from their english bums, it will certainly be for the title. if ireland win, sans bonus, scotland will still need the bonus win in italy then likely a bonus win in dublin. if england shite the bed and let ireland get the bp win, my fuzzy math says a win in dublin will be for fuck you bragging rights only.
