    Show your head the red card.

    The other team may just score more points but they can never BEAT Wales - this is RUGBY!

    However, I may be prejudiced and perspectively gilded since in my youth God lived in South Wales and played scrum-half.


    Youth god? I'm guessing at the great Mr Edwards?
    Oh yes! St Gareth - with a little help from the Pontypool front row, a succession of flyhalfs and JPR - plus some fellahs on the wings who were probably not all that important unless, of course, the bus needed a push on the way to the ground.

    Very proud to say I once played in that very front row, albeit the midweek team but wore the treasured number '3' and trained by a certain Mr Price...sadly a shoulder injury ended my career too bloody early:grumble: :grumble:

    Swing looooooooooooow.........sweeeeeeeet chariottttttt.......:drinker:

    Nice little warm up game to start the tournament........lol

    I'll wait for that to come back and bite me in the *kitten*!


    I love the fact the English have adopted this song...especially as it originates from the deep Welsh valleys!

    Good luck but I think this is your year:grumble: :grumble:
    It originates in Oklahoma - but it does reach its most glorious moments in the valleys of south Wales (unless you count that lot from Oooop North). It's the song that the Scots get away with that amuses me - has no one actually listened to the words? ( ...and sent him homeward to think again")

    the only one that matters.....


    Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
    Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
    Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
    Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

    Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad. Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau, O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

    Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
    Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
    Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
    Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

    Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
    Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
    Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
    Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

    At Twickenham today
    Since being world champions I have pretty much seen every team beat England there apart from Scotland
    Going back to see if that victory against All Blacks was just a dream

    France are the form team but after the weekend will have a better idea of where everybody is standing

    Wales may lose eight in a row today despite their support

    Need to have great Six Nations for a great Lions tour

    Enjoy your rugby

    When Mr Wilkinson played Australia in the final of the World Cup-before-last-or-so I was torn.
    Normally I would support Wales and anyone playing England - but Australia? I ask you!

    well you guys have your tri-nations and even brought Argentina into it for an extra training session....what's cute is the fact that you guys inherited the beautiful game off us lot up here and turned into a show piece and also set a standard for the rest to follow:drinker:

    Come the day and come the hour
    Come the power and the glory
    We have come to answer
    Our Country's call
    From the four proud provinces of Ireland

    Ireland, Ireland
    Together standing tall
    Shoulder to shoulder
    We'll answer Ireland's call

    From the mighty Glens of Antrim
    From the rugged hills of Galway
    From the walls of Limerick
    And Dublin Bay
    From the four proud provinces of Ireland

    Ireland, Ireland
    Together standing tall
    Shoulder to shoulder
    We'll answer Ireland's call

    Hearts of steel
    And heads unbowing
    Vowing never to be broken
    We will fight, until
    We can fight no more
    From the four proud provinces of Ireland

    Ireland, Ireland
    Together standing tall
    Shoulder to shoulder
    We'll answer Ireland's call

    :smile:

    I love it when England beat Wales so I can have good natured banter from a position of superiority with my mate Gethyn (a.k.a. the most Welsh man ever born in Dartford, a.k.a. Doom, a.k.a. sheep worrier, a.k.a. Jeremy....)

    Got my afternoon planned watching Englnad v. Scotland - quite a few men in skirts spotted in London Friday night.
