What a great performance, made a good Wales side look very pedestrian.

Could have been worse, Jan, it could have been "Guide me, Oh thou Great Redeemer" :)

Sorry, I didn't start this thread just to rub it in, you know. :angel:

Well, it's only a game; let good sportsmanship prevail - there is always next time.

Well done to the victors, and hopefully the celebrating supporters won't overdo it and will feel ok come the morning.

Kaymar and Jan,
Bread of Heaven ( Cwm Rhondda) and ( Blaenwern) Two fabulous Welsh hymns with fantastic bass parts. I used to love singing them in the choir, instead of all this happy clappy stuff we get these days. The welsh love to sing.

Only fair to let England have a reminder of the taste of success! In the last 10 years Wales have had 4 Championships and 3 each of Grand Slams and Triple Crowns. England have had 1 Championship and now a Triple Crown. C'mon boys, try and catch up!! ;)

At least England have won the Rugby Union World Cup, the only Northern hemisphere club to do so. However, I dont want to get into this argument as I have mixed ancestry and Wales is my second team.

I trust you had a good day, Dark Knight. A good, exciting match with a lively atmosphere. Were the prawn sandwiches OK?

I suppose we all have to become honorary Frenchmen for the weekend in the hope that they beat Ireland to give England a glimmer !

Still, not the end of the world if they finish level on points and England loose by points difference. They have accounted themselves well and the recent performances bodes well for the future

We wouldn't begrudge Brian O'Driscoll going out with a win and a championship now......would we ?!
