It's quite interesting why Welsh people are urging England to win. There's an article on the BBC website about national pride being regained; are the Welsh looking for a toot of that? We can feel better about ourselves through vicarious means? Maybe it's a case of any opportunity to feel good about ourselves and if we have to wear the British hat to do then so be it.

We seem to want to be a nation or a region of Britain when it suits us and come across like the Richard Hammond of the UK, hobbling to keep up with the bigger lads. Would those supporting England be okay with us merging with them internationally?
