Without any question. From 3-13 down against a formidable England side who were nailed on for grand slam according to anyone you could find with a view on it. Fantastic performance and a genuine seed of hope!Quote:

Fantastic result and great to see the Arms Park full and a great atmosphere.
I watched it...both teams weren't great.
It was a very decent crowd, but clearly not "full". It holds over 12,000, I think the attendance was 8,000. You'll always know if it's full, spectators will crowd behind the posts at each end.Quote:

Arms Park has probably had some bigger crowds than at the CCS recently.Quote:

They've played 8 matches at home this season. Apart from v Ospreys they've averaged around 7000. That will include a couple of thousand hospitality/frees.Quote:

Sold out a few games last year and a few games the season before. Some of our midweek games this season are probably close to 12k.Quote:

The word ‘Mugs’ springs to mind or maybe ‘sheep’.Quote:

Wales score a try after Engand had already scored 8 (I think it was 8 as I'd lost count) and the camera shows Wales supporters jumping around celebrating like they've won the World Cup. I know they are pissed up and have no real idea about what's going on but why do egg fans still celebrate like crazy tries when the game is lost and in this case utterly humiliated.
I doubt even another 2 tries stopped their enjoyment.
I think a lot of the celebrations you witness are prompted by seeing themselves on the giant screen.Quote:

Don’t worry though it’s only high jinks
If happened at football there would be banning orders galore
