So do I, it's just a shame than whenever England play ANYONE at ANY Sport, the vast majority of Welsh support whoever we are playing.

I don't recall the Welsh having any previous success at the Rugby World Cup and yet it is supposedly their national sport. Perhaps they should be reminded of that before they get too overbearing.

This. Small man syndrome of the highest order.

Shouldn't be a problem as they are worse than us at everything.

When it comes to rugby, I understand the Welsh attitude.

I learned my rugby as a child in Wales. I watched the game live, I played the game at school. My attitude to the game was formed in Wales. I subsequently moved to England and played rugby at my English school - where I discovered that, in England, it is a totally different game. English rugby is, apparently, a character-building activity, intended to instill an attitude of gentlemanly superiority. We were taught to pass the ball, not kick it, to admire individual skill at this aspect of the game, not win the game by collective occupation of territory. I never warmed to this.

The "English" attitude almost destroyed my enthusiasm for the sport - and I turned to playing the round-ball game. But there lingers on in me a tendency to delight in the failure of the classic English way of playing. We saw that today. The French deserved their victory. I celebrate their victory and I look forward to next weekend's semi-final.

I shall, of course, be supporting Wales.

I don't understand LB? You didn't enjoy the character building side of the game, or the ball passing or the individual skill? Sounds strange to me. I'd rather see that in rugby than collective territory occupation.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It was the fact that kicking the ball in active play was discouraged. That put me off. I'd been taught to do that and was good at it. It wins games. See France earlier today.

Let them get all exited about a rugby match that is about as important as a tiddlywinks game in the school playground. Nobody in England gives a monkeys about egg chasing but it is their national sport - let them keep it I say.

I reckon the viewing figures would say that more people watched Saturday morning kitchen than the England rugby game this morning.
