All the National anthems have been awful, and in fairness to the FAW they have got it spot on by playing the introduction to Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau then letting the crowd take over, it's absolutely beautiful

Fuk the anthems, all that matters is the Rugger, still can't believe when won it, Ref was lenient towards us in those last 15 mins it has to be said, on another day with another ref we'd have lost that game and finished with 12 players left on the field.

Not sure what other's think, but I felt at the time that we made substitutions to early, my blood pressure was 152/98 earlier, I dred to think what it was during those last 10 minutes last night :lol:

Well yes, it's all about the rugby of course, but I take my anthem seriously, whether it be rugby, football or ping-pong, but not as seriously as the French obvs

Jesus christ that's gonna hurt in the morning

 

[Swanjaxs]

Making hard work of this...

 

[Swanjaxs]

Johnny Williams with a brain fart, this could cost us...

 

[CygnusX1]

We are so slow to move the ball, get back in position and get organised.
Fair play to Portugal though.

 

[CygnusX1]

Anscombe need to be hooked too

 

[Swanjaxs]

The line out is atrocious, we are in big trouble if any of our first picks get injured going forward...

 

[Pegojack]

Good job this is our B side.

 

[CygnusX1]

Good job this is our B side.

Indeed.
We’ll win this, but it’s hardly inspiring.
Comms are right, we need the bonus point

 

[Swanjaxs]

Caught with our pants down there, good try ...

Sooner they put together a proper European tournament, the better.

Games like this are a breath of fresh air.
