Out his arse as I said, he thinks it's ok to put it on the Internet whereas most people would think opposite. I'm not trying to defend it, it was stupid and made him look like a twat

yes i agree silly keitho and his anger
 
I think it very strange that Wales v England isn't included in the poll. Arguably that is the biggest rivalry in world rugby. I've been to many Wales matches and nothing compares to Wales v England, the atmosphere is incredible and both countries are so desperate to get one over on each other but there is also massive respect between us. I was at the Millennium Stadium this year watching us play the English and I was so devastated by the result (being surrounded by smug English fans waving their hands up and down for Wilkinson made it all the worse) that it did ruin my night as I went home instead of spending the night in Cardiff as I had planned to do. That is how much it means to me as and that is how much it means to every Welsh fan. Wales v England - unrivalled passion and unrivalled intensity, imo.
 
This should be a vote for the biggest rivalry in your country poll. Everyone thinks the biggest rivalry is their country vs England in Nh and their country v NZ in SH etc...
A more interesting topic is club rivalry where it would im the NH be one of the french ones perpignan v Biaritz maybe not sure
 
club rivalries still will depend on the region of the poster , being ospreys supporter myself i will always argue the ospreys vs scarlets :D
 
Still can't believe people thing England vs *anyone else* is a bigger rivalry than England vs Wales

Maybe Ireland care a lot about playing England, but for England -> Wales is the team to beat.

One would think you'd aim a bit higher.
 
hey , don't diss wales , on a good day we can beat anybody , on a bad day we struggle to beat england and sometime lose :/ like we did in this years 6N
Unfortunately good days are about as common as the Woodstock Festival :\
 
Watch This

This is a eye-opening documentary about just how much the springbok all black rivalry means to South Africa and New Zealand . This rivalry is not only the biggest in rugby ,I would go out on limb and say its the biggest sporting rivalry in the world . Please watch before commenting!

Final thought : When the New Zealand Herlad journalist Andrew Austin was asked to comment on the rivalry between the All blacks and Wallabies he said : "The old enemy wears green and gold not just gold"
