No one has reviewed the Welsh Rugby team in a while so I thought I would give it a shot about this years success :) Having only been into rugby the past 4 years this may not be as knowledgeable as other reviews. You simply cannot argue with the fact that the Welsh are the most passionate rugby supporters in the world. Most countries have football as their prefered support such as England, Italy and France but I believe in Wales and New Zealand rugby is part of our heritage and culture. It is our national game and a sport which I believe we are now regarded as world class in. Wales compete in both the six nations and the world cup. Wales have never won the ...  Read the complete review

In this world that is slowly coming together and skrinking you would expect the importance of your nationality to fall. But NOT on the scale that the Welsh rugby team has taken it. There should be a limit to how many foreign born players there are in an international side. I will accept that New Zealand have used the three year residencial rule to their advantage for years. But at least the people who played fro their side were of the same ethnic background as their home born players. Bringing in retired players from the other side of the world is not what I view as accpetable. It all started when Wales looked high and dry in 1997 (or '98) and they appointed a ...  Read the complete review

It's been a mixed year for the Welsh rugby side, having been at the France game at the Millenium Stadium I was not impressed at all. I saw my side get an absolute hammering, and left ten minutes before the end, in what was really a dire performance. There have been some good victories against Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Samoa to give encouragement, and nobody can honestly deny that Wales have the best stadium in the world for now and for some time into the future. The pitch is not in the best condition however, although a new system is apparently going to be introduced to improve it. The rugby in Wales is starting to look better, having seen the recent test ...  Read the complete review

OK, so you get lots of points from Jenkins, but he is too predictable AND plays for Cardiff (for all you English, they are the Man United of Welsh Rugby.) However in Arwel Thomas, we have a genius and Graham Henry's refusal to pick someone with so much trickery (even on the bench) is a joke. In fact, the best welsh fly-half is currently plying his trade in Leeds. It is about time we got Iestyn to play proper rugby and then we'd be the greatest again. In conclusion, maybe you sensible b@$t@rd$ are right and we should pick the ginger monster. ...  Read the complete review

Greham Henry wins the job as coach for the British Lions hands down as far as I am concerned. He led a nation from the depths of depression to a position where they were able on the first occassion give the, then, World Champions a game then just over a year later to beat the South Africans for the first time in 93 years. We have to consider that the powers that be did not spend so much time, effort and money in order to intice a coach into this country when Wales had more to offer. The man is mentally strong, can see tallent when he is watching it and when selecting his squad to tour Australia next year will not have any deep roots in any of the home ...  Read the complete review
