I don't watch the rugby, but it always gives me great pleasure when England lose. In theory, with the numbers and money available to them (and France, to a lesser extent) England should win the Five/Six Nations every year. The fact that they don't give me a great deal of pleasure. They have this cock-sure arrogance and belief that they are better than everyone else, and whereas self-confidence is a good thing in sport, when it comes to English rugby, it just makes me sick. And that idiot Eddie Jones is even worse. Rant over.

they have a huge pool of players to draw on but are generally crapOriginally Posted by Harry Paget Flashman
I can do without all this six nations sin bin utter shite on the TV though
And todays western mail saturday pull out had a article by that retired rugby ref , a profile of Scott gibbs and another article about one of the coaches behind gatlands success
FF sake
Walesonline is pathetic.
apart from one on two exceptions Welsh media is shite , printed , online , the lot
A graveyard of ambition
Always rated Robert Phillips as a football commentator and journalist though
Och aye the noo!
I have very little interest in the 6 nations this year but yes, England should piss this every year and getting turned over is something that should be celebrated.
I'm pretty sure that every neutral, whether they be a rugby fan or not, will be raising a glass to the sweaty socks tonight.
I watched the England v Scotland game and it was good to watch. Scotland the better side and deservedly won. Eddie Jones when interviewed after the match took the blame and responsibility on himself. No moaning or complaints.
The amount of Welsh who get all hyper when England lose always amazes me. It wreaks of small mindedness, chip on the shoulder, stereotypical prejudice.
It makes us look bitter in my opinion.
Each to their own mind.
I agree.
I hate that "so long as we beat the English" song. Perhaps it's supposed to be fun, but I hate it.
This all day.
The small mindedness chip on the shoulder shit is embarrassing.
Kelly Jones and all that as long as we beat the English crap.
Get the chips off your shoulders. Its embarrassing.
Agree. Cringeworthy in the extreme, particularly when it is sung by a Leeds United fan.
I hate it too.
I'd much rather us win every game.
It is rather ironic
That's what was levelled at the Welsh players when England lost to Iceland.
I thought that was fair enough as it was probably the case.
That said, I pissed myself about that result too, so I’m a ****ing hypocrite on that one.
The problem with the Welsh media and a heck of a lot of Welsh rugby fans is they think everybody in Wales is interested in the nonsense they write and that everybody in Wales is obsessed with rugby
Its simply not true
For me, watching a game of rugby is good entertainment, at international level its exciting stuff on the whole
Club rugby I find boring
Football wise I regard England as our rivals , it doesn't matter that they are better than us and generally qualify for tournaments , they are our nearest rivals
I am amazed that until 2016 many Welsh people had no interest in the Welsh national team and would support England if they got to the world Cup or euros
These were often the same people who supported Liverpool or man United and wanted Wales to smash the English in the six nations
Odd
Saying England are our rivals in football seems akin to saying Man U are Cardiffs.
I beg to differ
They are our nearest international team , in fact we border each other
I don't care that England think they are on a par with Italy , Spain and Germany......they clearly are not .......If there is a round of international games on I want us to win and England to lose , especially if they are playing Wales......if the results of Scotland and Northern Ireland are important to us , I take an interest , if not I watch Wales and hope England lose in the same way I hope cardiff win and swansea lose
Scotland deserved it as well and I’m not going to apologise for loving seeing England getting beaten - there’s an arrogance centred around rugby English rugby in particular that invites such a reaction.
Hate that song too and it sums up our small country mentality. Beat England in the Euro's group or have that quarter final win over Belgium? Belgium every single day.
I personally find the Irish rugby contingent more arrogant than the English (and quite enjoying seeing S Underhill on their team sheet to be fair) so hoping we do them over today, not confident at all mind.
Don’t England fans see their rivalry being with Scotland and perhaps Germany?
I don’t think we even enter their heads unless we are playing them?
You’re right, most of that post is odd.
The number of sweeping generalisations about things are staggering, even for you. I can’t be arsed going through all of it but people had no interest in Welsh football until 2016? People would support England? Have you been dropping acid in your tea?
For someone who don’t watch rugby you seem to know an awful lot about it and start a thread on it.😂
Not cricket, since it includes Welshmen. (EWCB)
With you all the way on this Bob but I think so much of our I'll feeling toward English teams is generated by the extensive coverage they're given on TV and in newspapers, whilst lip service is paid to the other home nations.
Small minded or not it was joyful to read the amount of flak they were given following defeat to Iceland at the Euros. Made even better of course by the plaudits given to the Welsh team during the same tournament.
There are very few people in this world that I dislike. Eddie Jones is one of them.
