Sadie: thats the spirit! Us real Celts feel the same­ way: we always support two countries - our own and­ whoever is playing England.

As for pig-headedness?­ LMAO! A typical one-eyed English comment, that. You­ just can't handle it when you are proved wrong,­ time after time. Rather than making sweeping­ statements, give me an example of my­ "pig-headedness" to debate?

All my love,­ Gez.

DC dont you just love people like Gez? guaranteed to­ piss you off with his over inflated ego. (cause­ he's Welsh). They are due a down fall soon. Just­ remember you can laugh when they dont win the grand­ slam. I would rather anyone. EVEN France won it rather­ than Wales. And that is due to their sheer pig­ headedness. I would like to see it won by anyone in the­ uk. OTHER than Wales

DC Fizz: so you're an Anglo Scot? Worst of both­ worlds this season then?

To all the Welsh on this article, I would like to add­ that your current coaching staff include an All Black­ and Englishman. Now the whole point of rugby nowadays­ is not how pure a side is, but whether they are able to­ use the resources that are available to them.

Remember­ the Grand Slam of last year? Where would you have been­ without Gatland and Edwards?

As an Anglo-Scot I find your pathetic comments, Gez,­ annoying. You are merely showing how narrow minded you­ are. Grow up and enjoy the game for what it is, a­ game. There are many things more important than your­ delusions of how 'great' a side you have.

Just­ get a life.

Or north American mammal that builds dams and Jerk??

Or should i have said @#$% and jerk

The word I typed was @#$%....?? lol!

I agree Jono was a top player, but lacks something as a­ manager.I was puzzled as to why an experienced player­ (Tindall) was in the gym doing @#$% and jerk­ weightlifting a week before the Italy game. Gatland­ and Edwards are a different breed and they know how to­ get the best out of a team. I'am chuffed to bits­ with them and the whole squad. I can't see tindall­ lasting the game if he bumps into Roberts or for that­ matter little shanks!

I am welsh.Lets get that over with. I would, therefore­ like Wales to beat England on Sauturday. The game, I­ believe, will be far closer affair than alot of people­ think, it is not a good idea to write off any English­ side, in whatever guise that team appears. My opinion­ is simple, may the best team win on the day and an­ exciting game of ruby is enjoyed by both sets of fans.­ As for some of the previous comments regarding peoples­ nationality, sex and stereotypical assumptions based on­ the place an individual hails from, I believe is­ pathetic. The last time I saw a sheep it was being­ cooked on Masterchef!

Has anyone else noticed how Jonno is gradually­ reverting to nostalgia in his selection strategy? I­ admired him so much as a player, and a colossus as a­ captain. But he really has lost the plot. Just read­ his cliches about what the team needs to do to beat the­ Welsh ('snarl' etc). What would you think of­ that if you were an England player? And what's­ this about 'we need to improve'? How many­ times is a coach allowed to say that? The future looks­ bleak.

I agree about the need to play Tait.I know he has not­ been playing so well recently for his club since he­ came back from injury. But then his club don't­ start him for most games at the moment. But something­ happens to Tait when he puts on an England shirt. He­ suddenly becomes a creative international player of­ influence. There is also a great deal of balls talked­ about his lack of stature and build for playing at­ centre.I still believe he should be at Fullback but ­ there would be a lot more creative flair in the back­ line if he was playing outside centre instead of the­ predictable crash bang running of Tindall. It will not­ be enough for England to contain Wales they must create­ chances for themselves and for that they need Tait.

2 invalid comments?? wtf Yahoo?

dalziel_jon when tait played that game in 2005 he wasnt­ half the player he is today i think if he can run riot­ against world champions south africa in a world cup­ finnal he should fair well against wales...why dont we­ try a crash ball inside centre like tindall and a smart­ ball player at outside like tait it worked for woodward­ in greenwoods days playing two kicking players at fly­ half and inside centre doesnt give any confidence to­ cueto sackey or armatige to run.....but then maybe­ jonno is lookin at playin a different game if teams­ cant score they cant win maybe thats the plan but if it­ is the penelties will have to stop

I find it very strange that so many people take the­ comment which started this post as a racist comment but­ are quite happy to let what in my opinion are racist­ comments about the welsh Scottish English and Irish or­ make sexist comments.
The post was not about the­ players’ race or religion.
If I wanted to make a racist­ comment about any rugby players in any national team­ there has a lot of players in all the national teams­ (which have been shown in other posts).
So if you want­ to complain about racist point the finger of accusation­ at all racist comments

LOL@me having to show up to prove anything to you Gez.­ If you are too narrow minded to even consider the fact­ that a female knows something about rugby, well that­ says it all really. I have a family member who played­ for blackheath juniors for years. And I have been to­ quite a few games both club and international, so yes I­ understand a little about the game. Maybe not to your­ superior levels but enough for a mere woman.
Now back­ to the sheep... how many is in your collection now????

Have to say i'm not quite as confident as some of­ my fellow countryman.... the last time england were­ this 'poor' they proceeded to smash AUS and­ then France, ultimately reaching the world cup final.­

This Welsh team is good, not great - let's face­ it England handed it to us last year in the second­ half.

If England's front 5 show up it could be a­ real battle. The selection of worsley at openside gives­ a pretty telling insight into how england will­ play.

This is going to be alot tougher than the­ majority of people seem to believe.

the 6 nations....­ what a great tournament.

Wales v England ....Wales will edge this if the english­ pack dont domminate up front Andy goode kicking must be­ at its best kick the ball away against wales it will­ cost points ......also i think England give to many­ penitles away

I still dont get why the Welsh feel the need to come­ into a post about England to play billy big balls..­ makes them look silly. If we disgust you so much, keep­ the feck off our posts. Simple.

whos the meg who thinks tait should be palying for the­ poms ? last time he played in cardiff it nearly ended­ his career. Hes two small for a modern centre.
