Rugby Thread

[Fade and Die]

The last time I went to Twickers I swore never again. Left in plenty of time yet we were running into the stadium as the anthems were played. Can't recall how long it took us to get a few miles from the stadium after the match but enough to scar me for life.

It’s always a nightmare, after watching England get beat by Ireland on paddy’s day for the grand slam (can’t remember what year) we drank for an hour after the game, had a curry, and still queued for an hour to get into the station. It’s the worst Rugby stadium to get away from.
@Lord Tyrion I think Cardiff is a great place to visit, I’ve watched a play off final, an FA cup final and 3 Wales V England 6 Nations games, always thought the whole thing was well organised although tbh I’ve never had to get the mainline back to London, I’ve either driven or been staying at Cardiff bay or with friends in Cwmbran.

2019 and 2021 are not so far away to be looked upon as a "different era".

Wales will have chances to prove themselves against Scotland and Italy.

But it is a simple pain fact that the current team is not as good as it was 5 or 6 years ago - and no way near as good as the current England, Ireland or France teams.

Someone has to come last. Doing so in a very sporting way is worthy of some appreciation for a sporting effort. Particularly so for the smallest population country.

smallest population that used to run rings round everyone at Rugby. I don't believe in all this size thing. The Wales doesn't really bother with most other sports. Those that aren't good enough to play rugby are allowed to play football and that's where it stops. So Wales IS RUGBY! Reading Ians post, it seems he is more clued up on what's happening, and not for the good it appears. Rugby in the Northern hemisphere needs Wales performing well, and all the others for that matter so that when they come up against the lads from the other half of the world they are ready for it.
