[QUOTE="chrisd, post: 151170"] Yes, it most definitely is still the case. Welsh people like football - very much. But we LOVE rugby. Rugby is a bigger established sport in this country. It has more registered rugby players than footballers. The Welsh football team can get about 18,000 to the Millennium stadium on their biggest day. Welsh rugby could fill the stadium twice over. Honestly, even with england in such close proximity there is no comparison between football and rugby in Wales. Rugby is our national sport. I've not heard anything of that nature as of yet - and by that i mean none of the papers have declared that as being so. Why do people ALWAYS blame the coaching staff??!! Whilst I agree it is time for their heads to start rolling, the players have to take quite a decent amount of blame. [/b][/quote] Sorry mate, are you saying that the coaches (namely a defensive coach who's never even coached at regional level in Wales, to Scarlets boys who's biggest success is Semi's in HEC and McBryde who doesn't seem to have a clue about rugby, let alone forwards play) aren't to blame? Internationally the most inexperienced coaching staff in the world - i'm more than happy to lay some blame on the players, but hell, the coaches CANNOT be let off the hook. I think you have to understand the calibre of the coaches we had in place before you can comment on them with validity. [/b][/quote] [/QUOTE]
