Ahhh but that was a mere blip boyo

I'm (sadly) talking about the days of Gareth Edwards, JPR Williams, JJ Williams, Phil Bennett et al. It'll be a long time before Wales reach that level again.

A mere blip? Beating all 5 other nations? Riiight.....

Well to be fair, you Saesneg have hardly set the world alight since 2003.

I actually googled the Welsh success at rugby against England Russ.....

see attached for the result.............

**Russ** · 24-02-2007, 22:12

Well I can help you with that one - 2004, when Saesneg went from heros to zeros

Still, in the words of Kelly Jones...

Quote:

We don't wanna be,
Your enemy,
But when we're on the field,
It's red, white and green,

Got beat by the Irish,
Got beat by the Scots,
The French had a struggle,
But you're the one we want,
We want...

As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English, we don't care

As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English,
As long as we beat the English, we don't care
We don't care

Just back in. Was at the Bot in Belfast to watch the game, atmosphere was great almost as good as being at Croker. Great game. If only we had kept our concentration at the end of the French game.

If I could make my little winkie face bold for you I would?

He is a good kicker, hense his offer to go and play American Football to help out with their kicking.

That's true and you haven't heard me gloating about our past glories have you. I may be born English (albeit with a fair bit of Irish blood in me) but I'm not arrogant and don't believe in the sort of bigoted stereotypes you seem to.

Now now boys play nicely or someone will take the ball away
