walshie Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 England and Wales have been fierce rivals at Rugby for well over 100 years now. If it wasn't fairly evenly matched there wouldn't be any rivalry at all. I don't hear any fans slating Italy in a spiteful way as they simply aren't rivals in the true sense. I have never confused rivalry with hostility. If you do, you should give your head a shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw the Welsh player got to the ball in the air first, but didn't ground it properly under control!.......the English player did! Well that seems to be what the video ref thought anyway!

walshie Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Apparently you can't be racist towards the English. I don't hate any of the Home Nations, not even with a vengeance. If we win at rugby, we win. If we lose, then it's because we weren't good enough on the day. I certainly wouldn't huddle together in a pub discussing my hatred of the team that beat me. It makes no sense. As said before, banter is banter, and that's all it is from my point of view and for most sports fans. But to the small minority of unsportsmanlike bigots who hate me, my country and my team purely because we beat them at a GAME, then it makes it even more delicious when we stick it to them for the 5th year on the trot.

crosswaters Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Its sad to read about these hateful comments and to think our ancestor's fought shoulder to shoulder together in WW1and 2 to keep our country free from evil, such a shame and I thought it was only banter also.

grrclark Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Sadly there are those within all the home nations that harbour a hatred for those of a different nationality, it is something I struggle to understand. Rivalry I enjoy and it is especially satisfying to put one over on the largest of our neighbours, but the hatred I just do not get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbird Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I have no problems with the English, just please go back and live in England don’t come over to Wales & don’t make any effort to speak our language, England as a country must be a right **** hole as you are moving over to Wales in mass, I don’t see many Welsh men going over your way. Next post will be now my son or daughter is in a Welsh school talks fluent welsh & we bought a Welsh dresser only last week in a car boot sale lol You can’t beat a bit of banter.
