[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1166254, member: 86934"] It's quite simple, once upon a time a man picked up a football and started running with it. At the same time 2 welshmen were punching each other in the face over 1 looking at anothers hill, or sheep or something... Anyway, when that ball started to change shape and reach the Land of our fathers the 2 welshman picked up the ball, looked longingly in each others eyes, and one (in the finding Nemo seagull voice) said 'mine'. They then punched each other in the face, until 2 Welsh men became 4, then 8, then 16, then 32... This carried on for a few hundred years until one day one of those men said 'this isnt working, let's try regionalisation'. To which everyone in the room started punching each other in the face. Eventually there were 4 men left, each had a region, but no fans. They then said, who needs fans, we'll focus on kids, the next generation... Then 10 years later one man asked why the kids werent turning up to matches or buying merch. So everyone started punching each other in the face... Then Warren arrived, we all gawped, couldnt believe our luck before holding our hands together and wishing for a RWC win... that never came. So here we are, no fans, no money, no success, no history in the club game, and playing in a 2 hemisphere league noone really cares about... punching each other in the face! Hope this history of Welsh club rugby helps [/QUOTE]
