    Went to the fireworks in Cardiff last year, went again the other week and we got there a reasonable time so had no queues but friends who came later took 45 minutes to get in as they checked everyone on entering, fireworks were over half hour late.
    But of course it's just piss heads that cause delays isn't it.
    Yes, it is. As in egg chasing pissheads knowing security has been increased and decide to turn up at the last minute as that 92nd beer is far more important.

    Just remembered something else... the seemingly arbitrary rules.
    The last Wales 'try'. They were just checking whether or not there was downward pressure on the ball, well what about the fact that the corner flag was touched even before the ball hit the ground?

    That said, I quite enjoyed the game.

    My barber's an egger and a miserable fecker to boot. Whenever feasible I have haircuts in the days following a defeat for the Allbright swillers. At other times I have to remind him on how many successive occasions his beloved TV heroes have lost to New Zealand.

    Men throughout South Wales have their gum shields in hand as they listen with trepidation for their Doris' return from the pub.

    Not a rugby fan at all, but after yet another defeat to southern teams where it seems they just weren't good enough (again), we still get brave Wales, Wales played well etc. Why don't they ever get criticised.

    At rugby internationals the players wear adverts and other ads are on the pitch. It's far more commercialised than football internationals.

    The real analogy was that Dylan Thomas was a pisshead.

    If city had 74000 fans watching them I'd imagine it would be more noticeable that many of our fans are the same. There are plenty in my circle of friends who miss kick off due to not leaving the pub, but with less than 20000 fans ismt doesn't get noticed.

    No idea what offside means in rugby, can still enjoy the spectacle as is the case with the vast majority watching in the Millennium stadium and pubs round Wales.

    Egg fans are worse due to getting away with it, the old excuse of "hijinks".

    Re: What puts you off watching Rugby on the telly?

    If the eggers played the equivalent at rugby, say an Austria, they'd get less than 8k...

    Wales play minnows Georgia in Cardiff next Saturday and up to a month ago they had sold over 40,000 tickets

    Does putting on boots teach you the rules 😁

    Georgia are 12th in the world rankings, above Italy. One of the sides just outside the "elite". Shows the eggers disappear in droves when its not quality opposition.

    I remember there being tiny crowds for games such as samoa years ago. Me and my mates as kids had the run of the stadium sat in about 50 seats each more or less doing full laps of the stadium.

    Yes. Jonny Owen summed it up saying that it is an "event" and you and he are correct.
    The six (5) nations is an institution which many countries worldwide are envious of.
    It has its place in the sporting calendar and long may it continue.

    People just need to get some perspective.

    By the way apart from the off few clubs, club rugby is shite. RU has not coped well with going professional.

    Wales played well , some exciting youngsters coming through

    Kurtley Beale is a world class player who can play anywhere in the backs and hooper is quality

    As for the Aussie scrum half ? Best number 9 in the world

    Lets face it. A Wales Rugby International is and always has been an excuse for a p!ss up.

    True, but for a lot of city fans the same applies, I don't think I've seen a city game sober in the last 43 years. It's all part of the day out, meeting your mates in the pub in the morning, having a good swig, off to the match and back to the pub after, I fecking love it. Take that part away from the matchday experience and it's not half the fun.

    A mate had a spare ticket and dragged me to an egg game a few years ago.

    Got bloody covered in spilt alcohol due to muppets popping off to bar every few minutes one guy went and came back with beer 6 times! it does make you wonder what was the point of even getting a ticket, he could have stayed home and got bladdered for less - not like he was watching the game.

    This is the reason a lot of true rugby supporters don't bother going to internationals anymore, the drinking during the match spoils it for them. I never ever drink in the ground down the city, plenty of time for that before and after the game.
