I recall a remark by a German General in WW1, who said "The English are very brave, they fight to the last Scotsman..."

lol classic, why waste good English lives?

Those sneaky huns can talk, they sink cruise liners with subs

which reminds me of a line from my naval blunders book
"The British admarilty still had the notion that war was some sort of international sports, where which the germans had to stick to the rules - British rules

"

Bobs reckoned that the Welch were the best infantrymen in the world. Suspect he knew whereof he spoke.

Nah, by the time the Sarge says "Ready, aim, FIRE!" in Welsh, the war is over and the whole squad is covered in phlegm....

They certainly were thought as such during the middle ages. Made infamous during the battle of Agincourt where it is said that the Welsh played an enormous part in the success of ,what was, a major tactical victory by the English during the 100 year war.

Interesting fact number 235.
The two fingered sign (the reverse of V for victory or peace sign), used as an insult when displayed towards someone, was invented by the Welsh archers during the 100 year, and became legendary during the battle of Agincourt.

Such were the Welsh archers held in high esteem by the French, as brilliant killing machines, any archer caught would have both his 'V' fingers cut off, thereby rendering the ‘digit-less’ poor Welsh folk unable to continue their respective careers as Archers. Generally considered a role best suited for ‘digit-full’ type folk.

These poor soldiers, soldiers who would never again be able to enjoy gently caressing their loved ones woolly breasts, were actually released back home, so that they could show their fellow country folk what the French would do to an archer should they be caught. In response, whenever a 'digit-full' Welsh archer went to battle with the French from that point on, he would stick his two fingers up at the enemy in order to say, "Fuck you, I still have mine".

While all this was going on the English gentle folk present would moan and groan about everything, have a cup of tea, then play hide the sausage with one another to cries of,” I say Rupert, that’s a wopper wot wot."

We shall be ever grateful for that sublime Welsh gesture. BUT, who invented the one finger salute....Hopuati?

There can only be one reason why this darned thread hasn't died a death,

Wales 32 - Ireland 20

Wales won the 6 Nations Championship and The Grand Slam.

:spudbooge :spudguita

etc etc

The latest news is that the entire Welsh squad has been picked for the upcoming Lions masacre of the All Blacks later this year. You're all fooked!!

I thought that was an Irish tradition. Win loose or draw.

Funny that you're so confident yet the All Blacks team management has decided that they'll play England, Scotland, Ireland & France on their end of year tour, but appear to be reluctant to play Wales. Sounds like they're scared to me.

And as for the last time Wales (it's a country, so we use capital letters!) played the All Blacks both teams rolled out second string teams.

**inlinefour** · 21st March 2005, 11:08

half Welsh, rest Scottish and that blardy English in background.
Much prefer the Welsh though...

And what was the score?? Seeing as though both teams were second string then that cancels it out, hence both teams were the same strength in respect to the country's skill at rugby.

Whats the overall ledger for wales v All Blacks (its the best team so I use capitals), you probably have beat us atleast once.
