Has the Philippines ever made the World Cup? PBA Free Games

• Ireland made a strong start to their Six Nations campaign with victory in Wales while England lost their first game under Steve Borthwick as Scotland triumphed at Twickenham PBA
  
  Italy made life hard for reigning champions France in Rome but ultimately fell to a defeat PBA
  
  Here, the PA news agency looks at five things we learned from the opening weekend of the championship PBA
  
  Tentative signs of revivalA third successive Calcutta Cup defeat stung England, but there was promise in their maiden outing under new head coach Steve Borthwick PBA
  
  RecommendedSix Nations: Steve Borthwick drops Manu Tuilagi for Scotland openerJosh Adams urges honesty from Wales after Six Nations disasterItaly narrowly miss out on famous Six Nations win over reigning champions FranceConfounding expectations, they defended poorly but showed the type of ambition and accuracy in attack that was expected to be layered on at a later date PBA
  
  Their set-piece is still in need of attention and they missed a hefty carrier to really dent the line, but in scoring three tries they showed a purpose that was missing in the latter stages of Eddie Jones’ time in charge PBA
  
  Duhan’s the manThe difference PBA between the rivals in a gripping Calcutta Cup encounter was Scotland’s unflinching willingness to attack and their most potent weapon, Duhan van der Merwe PBA
  
  England’s loose kick, fragmented chase and dismal tackling provided the platform for the giant wing to score one of Twickenham’s great tries in the first half, but it was still a magnificent finish PBA
  
  And with six minutes to go he showed strength and agility to condemn the hosts to defeat with a classy second PBA
  
  To a Scotland backline blessed with dangerous runners, Van der Merwe brings his own brand of X-factor PBA
  
  Ireland in the box seatApart from struggling for a long period in the second half, Ireland fully justified their title favourites tag with a 34-10 victory over Wales in Cardiff PBA
  
  A 27-3 interval lead came after a near-faultless 40 minutes in which they physically dominated Warren Gatland’s ill-disciplined side and, having lost their way, they finished strongly with Josh van der Flier grabbing the bonus point PBA
  
  France’s visit to the Aviva Stadium in round two has the look of a title decider and on this evidence it is Ireland’s to lose as they live up to their billing as the world’s top-ranked side PBA
  
  Rookies offer hope to struggling WalesThere was no fairytale script to accompany Warren Gatland’s return as Wales head coach, with Six Nations title favourites Ireland powering to a 34-10 victory in Cardiff PBA
  
  Wales were horribly outplayed during a first half to forget, but the overall performances of wing Rio Dyer, centre Joe Hawkins and flanker Jac Morgan should give Welsh supporters cause for optimism PBA
  
  All three made strong contributions during a difficult afternoon to enhance their reputations PBA
  
  When there is so much that needs fixing in Welsh rugby, such exciting young talent is worth savouring PBA
  
  Italian rugby on the rise“It’s quite tough to swallow this defeat” was fly-half Tommaso Allan’s reaction to Italy’s 29-24 loss and with a bit more composure in a dominant final 10 minutes, they could have claimed a momentous victory over France PBA
  
  Victories against Wales and Australia in 2022 has provided a lift to Italian rugby that was in full view as they went toe to toe with the Grand Slam champions, who were crushed by their high penalty count PBA

  Whether Miami conjures up images of effortlessly cool (and incredibly bronzed) rollerbladers gliding past South Beach; palm-tree-lined streets, or simply the video for Will Smith’s 1998 hit single, when it comes to travel in the US, this sun-soaked Floridian city has been drawing crowds for decades PBA

  A mix of old and young, locals and travellers, cocktails in hand, lounging around the central pool, under a canopy of tropical flora strung with fairy lights, to a soundtrack of laidback beats PBA
  
  To the side, an organic herb, fruit and vegetable garden, which serves the multi award-winning cocktail bar Broken Shaker and the 27 Restaurant, whose South American and Middle Eastern flavours are as joyous as the crockery they’re served on PBA
  
  Inside, it’s a fusion of Seventies oranges, quirky grandma’s living room and Mad Men sleek PBA
  
  Embrace the hostel way and book a bunkbed in a shared room, or reserve one of the well-priced private rooms and enjoy a king to yourself PBA
  
  Complimentary perks include bicycles and super-fast wifi PBA
  
  Mid and South Beach are a block away, but the feeling here couldn’t be further removed PBA

  Trompe l’oeil wet footprints tip toe along the hallway carpets into guest rooms featuring silky leopard print robes and guaranteed ocean or bay views PBA
  
  Psychedelic alligator prints greet you in the lifts, hand-painted murals immerse you in tropical lands, and pink adds a joyful lick to everywhere, from the boudoir-esque library to the bedside rotary-dial telephones PBA
  
  It’s a little bit Barbie World, a little more Wes Andersen, and 100 per cent made for sharing on social PBA
  
  At the centre of the action is Strawberry Moon, where quite possibly the only pink-and-white-striped swimming pool in existence takes centre stage, amid all-day weekend parties headlined by big name DJs (and attended by cabana-residing VVIPs) PBA
  
  This is where morning meditations meet sessions in the indoor/outdoor, Peloton-inhabited gym, and a lunch-to-late-night menu serves up Mediterranean dishes, including Pharrell’s favourite: swordfish kebab PBA

  For the deal-makers and blue-sky thinkers, there are sleek meeting rooms, unlimited free coffee and Zoom-friendly wifi; a 24/7 canteen and co-working spaces you actually want to work in PBA
  
  When it’s time to wind down, there’s the rooftop pool (opening this winter), a very homely living room filled with books, and XL king-size beds made for sinking back and tuning into one of the specially commissioned ‘Brainwaves’ tracks, created in collaboration with music scientists at Goldsmiths University of London to help business travellers to focus, sleep or reduce anxiety PBA

  The 1930s Tudor-style manor pops majestically from the surrounding Art Deco vibes, with a sandy stucco façade that conceals within an eclectic palette of jewel tones, salvaged and vintage curiosities, lush tropical flora and nods to the Arts and Crafts movement PBA
  
  Among the 26 sunlit guest rooms is a family suite fit for six and a writer’s studio, made for poring over the hardbacks in the reading nook, while sheltering from the midday rays PBA
  
  Restaurant and bar Pretty Swell – named after the popular nearby surfing spot – serves up coastal treats, from East Coast oysters to tiradita, alongside a soundtrack of an open fire and spinning vinyl PBA
  
  It’s a place you’ll struggle to tear yourself away from PBA
