Welsh scrum in near future

[Ospreylian]

What's that I hear? Englishmen complaining that another country's best players originate from nations other than their own?

*COUGH* Tuilagi, Corbisiero, the Vunipola brothers, Dylan Hartley *END COUGH*

EDIT: , just so this post isn't taken too seriously

 

[Peat]

Objection m'lud. He called Hartley one of our best players. The man is clearly deranged.

edit: Big Ewis, that scrum only occurred due to the pyschological damage of knowing the Welsh had kidnapped and brainwashed so many of our best players. No one wanted to perform well in case the Welsh came and kidnapped them as well. Sickening poaching.

ah, but you don't seem to be objecting to any of the other ones, especially not the Tuilagi you have !
(goddamn, can't find that meme with Boromir going "ah !...they have a Tuilagi...(in stead of cave troll)")

 

[Patchey]

AHEM! If we don't get the Vunnipolas then you most certainly can't have mist Faletaeu, seeing as they're cousins!

Also, I'm with Peat. Hartley isn't one of our best players and it is very offensive to suggest otherwise. I'm seething over here.

:lol: I see. How tactical from England !

That's a very good point actually, thanks for jogging my memory Patchey! Yes, that's right, the Vunipolas have played youth rugby for Wales in the past alongside Toby, I remember now.

Yeah well, Gareth Edwards got good at rugby in Somerset.

Really?
I know they lived/played in Wales for a few years, before moving to Bristol for secondary school, but didn't even know they had a Wales u11s side.

I think not... Seeing as they were England U18 and U20s players.

Yes, believe it or not. There was a nice clip about Toby on Scrum V, about how his family moved from Tonga to the UK. There's even footage of them playing together and lining up in their Welsh kits:

In my rush to take the wee out of Hartley, I did not have time for a serious consideration of his other choices.

Sadly, the continual pillaging of English playing stocks by our celtic cousins leaves us with no choice but to consider foreign imports.

Indeed. At least we're not like the Australians who steal all their stars from New Zealand and give nothing back in return! We'll let you take our talent as long as we can take some of yours. Very egalitarian.

Tangaki must be devastated to be stuck with being Welsh when Mako and Binny moved on to bigger and better things.

your argumentative gymnastics are downright impressive today, Peat. I must say. You're really good at being English, I must say !

 

[Peat]

Um.... Ben Morgan

A particularly shameless and heinous case of attempting poaching by the dastardly Welsh. Thank gods the brave men of Gloucester were able to rescue him in time.

 

[Aristodemus]

Um.... Ben Morgan

Ahh the one that got away, still plenty more Englishmen out there to steal

You know, after a weeks worth of Ireland and kiwi whinging, I actually find Wales v England talk refreshing.
