[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 628730, member: 56232"] I wouldn't direct it to people here nor was it a view I held last year. However since beating England 30-3 I think it's fair to say that a large chunk of Welsh people have become quite insufferable when talking about rugby. Couple that with the tired old "arrogant England", "Anyone but England", "England paid the ref", "Boring England" etc, it doesn't tend to make one feel particularly sympathetic to another nationality. With regards to the Scots, same as above although not as much recently and the general pettiness such as not showing England the common courtesy of having our flag in the stadium for the game and I have no wish to see either of those sides progress far until the general pettiness towards England is brought to a more civilized level. Until then, I think I have some right to dish a bit of it back. Also I think the "banter" defence stopped working a long time ago. There is banter and there is generally being rude and it seems to have swung towards the latter a bit too much. [/QUOTE]
