360istimo, you're so full of s%^& it is almost laughable. Funny thing is that most England fans have the same thought process as you.
The 10 man game that England and its clubs play (inc munster) is drab and predictable and robs the fans of entertainment. Rugby is a game, look up the word 'game' in a dictionary, I think you will find it means entertainment. People this side of the border go watch rugby to be entertained, not kick and clap in wax jackets.
I played from mini rugby up to senior level in Welsh Div 2, played against many big names so I like to think I know about rugby and what it means.
Robinson was not a good defender, easily bumped in the tackle area. He was electric in attack and the only player in a white shirt to get the crowds on its feet. Shame he only ever got the ball when it was miss-kicked by the opposition.
Greenwood was never 'underated' as you mention, he was widely regarded as one of the most reliable centres in world rugby.
Anyway, back to Shane.. He is one of the first names I check for on the Ospreys and Wales teamsheets, full of skills that can turn games.

Ha Ha, im going to send you the book 'bluffers guide to rugby' , your rugby intelligence is laughable. Sport is no longer about entertaining the crowd, its about winnig. I can't be bothered to educate you on why Rugby went from amatuer to proffesional and what in turn that means.
Do you think a Welsh coach who produces a team that plays amazing attacking rugby but loses every game would keep his job? No, because sport and rugby is about WINNING and results. Please tell me of a coach at a decent side/player in any posrt in the world who has kept his job when not winning? Entertainment is a very distant 3rd to success and money in sport.
England won the World Cup with a bad defender at 15 did they? You say he only got the ball from miss kicks from the opposition, that really shows how much about rugby you know. That England team are in the top two teams every to be produced by the NH, yes the other team were THAT Welsh team, but they could never beat the AB's could they?????
Shane Williams is an average winger. Myopic Welsh supporters think he's world class. thats laughable. Your right he can turn games, he can win them and lose them in the blink of an eye.
Kick, clap and wax jackets, thanks for showing your total ignorance and how much you like to generalise and steroetype. I won't sink to your level.
Wake up and understand proffesional rugby please and send me your address and i'll get that book to you quick smart before the 6 Nations starts.

I think you will find england played some pretty miserable rugby when they won the WC. You were saved by Mike Catt against Wales when 'hero' Jonny looked out of sorts.
You met an equally boring team in the final. Both teams went out the prem mentality of safe rugby and I stick with my comments about Robinson. Dodgy under the high ball with a lack of defensive awareness.
And yes, you do wear wax jackets! I went to the Tup pub in Twickers last year to watch the Eng v Ireland game, the Irish fans were out having a laugh (and seriously outnumbering the english fans) and the English mob really did fit the stereotypical image. Barbour jackets, cords and brogues. The only song they knew was that dirge aka sweet chariot. Rugby in England is a upper class sport.
Rugby in Wales is passion, we like our working class rugby clubs, we like Katerine Jenkins, we like to stagger around St Mary Street after the games, we like to run it from everywhere, we like forwards who can link with backs, scrum halves with tricks, wizards on the wings and pace all over the pitch. We play a high tempo, low contact high risk game and this will never change. We could trade it in for 10 man English game but it isn't us. We are Welsh!!! Despite all the false dawns we still turn up to watch with hope in our hearts, this is because we are a rugby nation and something that you'll never understand.

The England team that won the world cup, could score tries and play attractive rugby when they needed to, stick it up their jumper when they needed to and play to the conditions. Thats what made them such a great side. World Class, World Champion Side.
With all your attacking flair and such amazing do or die running rugby, can you tell me of a 6 Nations season, with exception to your Grand Slam season, in the past 10 years where Wales have scored more try's than England playing with their so boring '10 man rugby' style ?
Really looking forward to your answer to the above.
Your such an ignorant fool on so many levels, im going to leave you to it.

Yeah, we will all be talking about England in 20 years time like we do the great Welsh teams of the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's
Like you do in football you think you are superior in anything you do when you are way off the mark.
You are still playing that dull style, what have you done since? You won the world cup due to slowing down ball, defence and keeping it up your jumper. Lets be honest, you scraped through to victory, did 'hero' jonny miss a couple of drop goals and odd decisions go your way? Your players are unimaginative and those yougsters who do have it are pushed aside.
We in Wales are told to express ourselves, even after mammoth losing spells we do this, it is the way Wales play.
It isn't your fault you support a bland nation, could have sworn Wales are LEADING england in games won since international games started?

Slagging off another nation so ignorantly really shows your charactuer. I was led to believe it was the English who were arrogant and ignorant.

It isn't a case of hating england, I just hate 'fortress' twickers, wax jackets, the RFU, the english rugby team and 'best thing since sliced bread' mentallity. We have it rammed down our throats by Sky and the BBC. When half time comes all the talk is about England regardless of who they are playing or the result.
Funny thing is I like to watch your national footy team, support an english footy team and my dads english. I work for a London based company and have many friends.
I suppose the 'clever/dim' balance is playing wonders for you, great cars but lousy rugger team

I've seen as many wax jackets at Welsh games, Scottish AB's, South African games as there are at Twickenham.
I don't understand any of you points at all. Said it once, say it for the last time, your just plain ignorant and stereotypical.
Sorry for winning a lot of matches and tournaments in the last 10 years and the confidence that comes from it. Prehaps you might experience what its like one day.
The RFU being a load of jerks is possibly the only thing i agree with you on, but at least they are getting things right now, plus the WRU are just as bad if not worse than the RFU

Wilkinson! Blooming cheating, annoying, drop kicking, in touch, pain in the ars...
Still he'd have been handy for the points!Yeah. I was just too mean to spend 10 points on him. I think Il'l be having some Italian forwards and Johnny next time.
