[QUOTE="Calidris, post: 461372, member: 55601"] 2 or 3 years ago, the Anglo-Saxon journalist Steven Jones had written an article in the newspaper The Times. [url]http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/rugby_union/article5318381.ece[/url] Extract : " If I were a French rugby club I would seriously consider whether it is worth contesting the rest of the Heineken Cup. The odds are so stacked against them that the concept of fair play has been lost. French rugby is always stuffed by refereeing. It is one of the first laws of the sport. Sad, but true. If refereeing bosses cannot find referees to speak the languages of both teams involved, well they should demand that every referee officiates in total silence." If i write this isn't it to snivel. It's just that i find normal that Welsh is disappointed by the progress of half-final. But i find inequitable to say that French are to favor by the refereeing in the rugby. We lost inequitably one half-final against South Africa in the World Cup 1987. It isn't for that that we criticized the citizens of this country and makes a press campaign against the referee of the match and the South African team. The anti-French criticisms that we can read in certain newspapers Anglo-Saxon are racist to us. It's only sport. Sorry, i don't write English well. [/QUOTE]
