Wales. Wonderful Rugby Win
The English Rugby team are overpowered by a dominant Welsh team at Cardiff Arms Park.
Overview
The Topical Budget cameras are on the sidelines to capture a remarkable victory for the Welsh rugby team, beating England with a score of 28-6. A jubilant crowd of 35,000 were at Cardiff Arms Park to see the English team outplayed by the home team in very muddy conditions - the transformation of the gleaming white kit is a bit of a giveaway. Most of the action is captured from the middle of the field, but watch out for a glimpse of some point-scoring.
