Right, i have gone to all of the Wales Internationals this year due to working for the publishers that produce the programmes for the WRU.

Now the last game gone was Wales Vs Australia, which is where my dilemma comes into effect.

I supported Wales as i have done every game, however my brother supported Australia, due to the fact my father was born in Darwin and we both hold Australian as well as UK Passports.

My grandfather was Welsh as was all his family, my gran was English.

My Mums parents where Cornish and having been born in Cornwall and lived there untill i was 20, i consider myself Cornish rather than being English.

My wife is also Welsh btw.


ANYWAY, on the 14/02/09 Wales play England.

Now you see my problem, i'm not sure who to support, its a full on identity crisis here.




i didn't have to post this i just thought as there's a few people on here who need to vent hehe

So you only link to England is via a celtic part of it?

I think the choice is clear, support the side that will win.

Hint: They're not going to be wearing white.

Its obvious - as an englishman you should always support the underdog.

Therefore you must support England.

A perennial problem in our house. Wife is an English rose. I'm Welsh.

The only time I get very, very welsh is watching the Rugby. The accent comes back and I yell at the teledu. biggrin

THis is the stest thread in the existence of the internet.
If it isn't bad enough even having those thoughts- thinking it is worth typing them into the P&P is quite terrible judgement.

Jesus.

You'll have to support the Cornish Rugby team then, surely?

Oh, i do, Redruth for the win!!! But this is on a larger level, sadly untill the Cornish are granted independence i doubt we'll be in the 6nations anytime soon, either way we'd be better than England hehe

I really should have started a poll on this.

I do support England during the world cup (football) though?

Wouldn't your posting be an implicit acceptance of the thread, though, despite the message contained within said post?

A conundrum indeed.

Probably.

My Grand-mother was Irish and thus my old man is proud of his heritage, which has been passed onto me.

When Ireland play England, it's a win-win situation IMO! I like to see the Irish do well, but I don't like seeing England lose. I like seeing England win, but I don't want to see the Irish do badly. I choose to be a glass is half full person and just enjoy the match!

Although I don't applaud too loudly when England score biggrin
