This is just class. What a character. This is what its all about and what rugby means to us here in Wales. Mae y bachan ma yn legend fair play.
Not safe for work unless you speak Welsh ! There are words that you might understand in any language ! I can`t see what is so crazy because I am the same !! It is like this in every house in Wales come Rugby 6 Nations International season !!

Sounds like me watching Newcastle United....'F*cking IDIOTS!!!'
You don't even need to tell me this Simbo lol, I used to live with a few Welsh lads in Student digs many moons ago. Still keep in touch with one and I'll be seeing him in Manchester in a big reunion we have every other year (change the location all the time though). I remember Wales beating England in the mid-late 90's, and he got so p*ssed up that day celebrating, he ended up getting lifted by a copper. For running down the street at night bollock naked (and I mean literally bollock naked!)...Screaming 'we woooooooonnnn!!! We wooooooonnnn!!!'. Think the Copper saw the funny side of it though and he just got a telling off.
Always admired Welsh Rugby, some great teams and players....especially in the dominant 70's of course. Think they have a good shot at winning the 6 Nations tbh, looking forward to the Twickenham clash for sure. England have not been convincing at all thus far, takes time to rebuild. I miss seeing Shane Williams play, fantastic player and along with the Aussies David Campese one of my favourite wingers of all time. My old position too, though I could also play inside and outside centre if required...I represented Northumberland County at No 11 and was a pretty good player in my day, true story.
I'm hoping this lad crosses over to Union one day and plays for England....Ignore the crap music, just watch him run. A real talent.....Wigans Sam Tomkins.
EDIT: Swearing in the crap 'music'. Why do they bother?
He can even score trys in his sleep whilst being sparked out cold. This is funny.
Been clothelined-planked a few times meself. It hurts.

Not that I give a sh*t though, tbh. A wins a win. GABOS. Game aint based on Sympathy. I travelled among unknown men, In lands beyond the sea; Nor, England! did I know till then What love I bore to thee.
'Tis past, that melancholy dream! Nor will I quit thy shore A second time; for still I seem To love thee more and more.
Among thy mountains did I feel The joy of my desire; And she I cherished turned her wheel Beside an English fire.
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed, The bowers where Lucy played; And thine too is the last green field That Lucy's eyes surveyed.
Cry God for Harry, England and St George!!!!

[Re: Simbo_Sim123]
Which penalty are you on about? The tackling without the ball one? If you kick the ball and are then tackled without it, the penalty is from the spot the ball lands... so if you are within your own 22 give the ball a good old pelt, get tackled / infringed afterwards... it can land on the opposition 5 meter line (first bounce, not where it stops!) and that is where the penalty is given, not where the player was clattered.

The Scots completely self imploded against Wales as well Simbo + Valleyboy, they were blatantly robbed of a try around 60 minutes too.....Which should have been awarded and was wrongly ruled out. At half time, 3-3 and they had the better of the play, by a fair margin.
Dave Denton is going to be a great player for Scotland, only a young un' as well. Big future.

Don't worry WillWallace, they can never take your freedom!!!
They can take my freedom, as long as we start winning! Being a Scottish rugby supporter is so hard...

Ah, right. I was listening to BBC Radio Scotland commentary (because I don't like Jonathan Davies) and they went on about it as if it was a huge mistake (probably because it was all Scottish guys commentating).

[Re: Simbo_Sim123]
My dad does the same with he commentary, has the radio on for it... though with digital tv and bog standard radio theres a delay in there somewhere!
the try that wasn't... it was technically a try in all honesty, but when you think from teh refs viewpoint he dropped the ball, he wouldnt have seen the players right hand grap it an inch from the floor as it was the wrong side for the ref to see it... and the TMO can't judge on it either as it wasn't in the process of scoring, if he was over the line when that happened it could have 'gone up stairs' to be reviewed... the ref made a call, and it was wrong...
I still think Scotland were lucky not to have more penalties against them, there were a good few rucks where the clearing out was just plain illegal... like when Adam Jones had his shoulder dislocated for the Lions, players taking a 30 yard run up and shoulder barging players out of the ruck, where in other games players have been yellow carded for that ! but the ref decided to leave it go.
Scotland most certainly played better, but just couldnt finish off chances, whereas Wales didn't play too well but could finish off what they created.. apart from the break out from their own line in 78th minute... they should have finished that one off! A pass to Leigh Halfpenny would have resulted in a try, but Jon Davies passed back inside instead!
