BB - thought you must be a good guy riding a Blackbird, but Welsh???

You know what they say, the English are all self-made men which relieves God of a terrible responsibility; and the Welsh pray on their knees and on their neighbours

Hey, my friend (W), is Welsh.....ish

Well I did see it and Wales were the better of 2 very poor teams.The BBC showed the error count 20 minutes into the second half and it was 8 to Wales and 11 to England,the ABs on good form playing either team the way they played on Saturday would easily beat them by at least 30 points.Wales had some good moments and 2 or 3 players that played a blinder,England had them rattled for a total of maybe 20 minutes during the game,and Jason Robinson was the only one who was consistently good.No sour grapes,England were bloody awful and any other result would have been totally unfair on the Welsh but it was a scrappy game and they were no great shakes either.

Well summed up. The only real excitment for me (apart from winning of course) was watching Gavin Henson possibly being mature enough to be worthy of being considered one of the best outside halves in the world. Seriously,this guy is really something special. I watched him work his way through youth, Swansea, Sharks and the international ranks to the full Welsh team. A world class goal kicker (better than Stephen Jones, maybe not quite as good as the man Wilkinson, yet), solid defender, cheeky and just about achieving the level of vision necessary from a world class three quarters.

I'll be flabergasted if he doesn't get a call up, maybe alongside O' Driscoll, for the forthcoming Lions decimation of the All Blacks later this year

Nope, haven't heard that one, the one I heard was, the English raped the world stealing from self-made men thinking they were God, and the Welsh were preyed upon by its neighbours for hundreds of years. The invading tyrants suppressing Welsh national identity, shipping off to Australia (the agony!!) anyone who dared speak or write in their native language. The same leeches that then set about stealing the Welsh nations natural resources which in turn bolstered the English invaders banks coffers to such an extent that the pirates could then afford to take to the seas and go about raping and pillaging nations all over the world, sucking the life blood out of these nations……....and the Welsh get accused of preying on their neighbours. :spudwhat:

(I know Hitcher, I should have used comma's and full spots n stuff, but I did say all that in one breath!)

Well I haven't heard from my Welsh mate who was at the game yet!? I guess that means he hasn't sobered up yet!?

Who knows?
I doubt there'll be many in the Lions, though (which I'm gonna see in Wellington in July, gloat, gloat).
