England were an absolute disgrace against New Zealand. C'mon, you guys have so much more resources compared to them. You're just ****, the most underachieving team of all time. You're a country of 50 Million against a country of 4 Million, for God's sake! You invented rugby, don't tell me you haven't had time to perfect it!
Pitiful. :wall:

China ought to be pretty good then... oh wait no, your unfounded-typically-welsh-inferiority-complex-theory goes out of the window.
On a level, you're chatting all this madness about Grand Slams and going on to win world cups; your IMPROVED result was 1 point better than England's first time out. You lost 4 tries to 2. Well done Wales, lived up to all the hype once more I see.
It's like a law of rugby. Wales, because England happen to have a complex when it comes to beating Celtic teams, win a match, get really pleased with themselves about it and if they win a few more, well, hell, our boyos must be world beaters. Then they get a pounding, and its back to square 1.

:lol: You really are a prat. Of course you're on the minor English bandwagon of which believe that anything good about a Welsh rugby performance is a fluke that must be put down with arrogance and misconceptions. England were slaughtered and are underachieving. Wales were beaten (while earning some respect despite a totally unflattering final score) and have a bright future. Oh wait, what did I just say?
Wales. Future. Bright? Sorry, I must have drifted off again as I know our place is being a team that can only get the occasional win and have no hope of beating the big teams such as England and....England.

We've had one match. After 1 match Wales got slaughtered.
Bright future? Your best players... Martyn Williams, had to be called back from retirement. Shane Williams, 31. Without both of those two Wales are ******.
And yes that is Wales' place. The reason England lose to at least one Celtic team every year is because they hate us so much and raise their games, and we have a complex about them. Which is why when we were the best team in the world we only got 1 Grand Slam. Which is why when we've ****** all over Wales for a half a match and then gift them a victory.
It works in stages:
1) Once a team like Wales beats England, they're really pleased with themselves. But imagine for a second that England had done a remotely professional job on Wales in that 2nd half... you would have gone back to Cardiff with your tails between your legs and noone's tounges would be up Gatland's arse.
2) Anyway, they then have plenty of confidence, and go and beat some very poor opposition from the rest of Europe, and they all were poor, don't argue with me on that. So, anyway, you have a grand slam under your belts. Suddenly Wales all think they're the best in the world, it's back to the 1970s glory days and blah blah blah.
3) Next it's bringing Wales onto the World Stage. In 2005 it was the Lions. This year it's South Africa. The Lions' problem wasn't that they hadn't gelled or any of that rubbish. They just weren't good enough personnel wise; they couldn't even beat Argentina let alone New Zealand. So this year Gatland thinks Wales can beat the World Champions, and they get slaughtered. Next game, naturally, Wales play a bit better. Scoreline doesn't lie; they were heavily beaten again.
4) Now the bubble's burst it's time for excuses. The Lions blamed it all on Umaga, Gavin Henson's form and Jonny's injuries. This summer it's because of injuries (perrennial excuse, good teams have strength in depth) and of course it's the referee's fault. But no matter, let's retain some confidence for the Autumn...
5) Autumn comes around. Despite having high hopes, Wales produce a highly inconsistent set of performances, and if there's one good one it'll be amongst other poor ones, and therefore assumed a fluke.
6) Back to the same old Wales, the team that occasionally thrills but is generally **** poor. Cycle repeats in a few years' time.
