The English roots are from the 'Anglo Saxons' (Germanic Tribes) who invaded and populated what is now called England around the fifth century. The other Germanic tribe the 'Angles' gave their name to England 'Angleanda'

The Jutes settled around the Isle of Wight and Hampshire. Not sure what they had to do with Wales?

And then the Germans will invade again and it'll all go around in a circle!

I have only one word to say: Tonga :ears:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Mods please be aware that Tonga is now a swear word in Scotland.

Still an amazing win for a country that has only a handfull of Professional players against the English thousands.

And most of them are from other nations!

You assume I am English.

The point I make applies to all rugby playing nations, including the Southern hemisphere and, of course, extends into cricket. Football is no better meaning the integrity of international team sports has completely disappeared making them totally irrelevant.

When did a team of Englishmen last play a team of Scotsmen at any sport?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Wales are getting a bit of a doing at Cardiff.
