What I dislike most about Welsh rugger is not the game itself, it's because so many Welsh people conflate international games with their sense of Welsh identity and patriotism. I find it particularly egregious when Wales play England. That's when all the hypocrites make out they have a loathing for all things English despite embracing its language and culture to the (usually) total exclusion of Wales'. Most 'proud' Welsh people would sooner stick a cactus plant up their Arris than even attempt to learn their own language. That's the truth of it, as uncomfortable as it may sound to some, isn't it, look you.
