there have been fans of the above teams who will go blue in the face before admitting the best team won... Irish fans are addamant that they should have won, and so England and some French... now, I hate to point it out, but Wales have just set a record of least amount of tries conceded in a tournament... plus like it or not, you can only play as good as the opposing team lets you.. and lets face it, Wales' defence has been by far the best this tournament.. maybe Wales just made France look ordinary with their defence ? didnt help the french were clueless up front, but even when they tried to play their running game it was nipped in the bud with some great tackles...

If France, England or Ireland had won the championship, we wouldnt be hearing the moaning thats been going on the past few weeks..

others complaining about teams being in transition, trying out new combinations... well, Wales had a new Coach, all the other teams bar France have established coaches in charge...
Wales performed the worst at the World Cup, bar Ireland.....
now 6 months down the road... whos standing where ?



Its a sore subject for us, as every time Wales do anything of any good... there are those who just like to say it was a bad championship... well, if Wales really were that mediocre, it doesnt say much about the opposition we have come accross so far this year does it ?

We have always had a team that can score against the best sides in the World... now we have a rock solid defence... in two years time, this Wales team will be going places.... everything starts somewhere... even England when at their very best only could win 1 Grand Slam.. why ? as by its very nature.. its a damned hard thing to do. Even when Wales and Scotland were crap and Ireland befroe they had O'Driscol, teams still couldnt win Grand slams without a hell of alot of effort.....

Its a shame when other teams drum down the winners performance by saying they should have won but were below par and so. Wales won, end of.

I'm English and proud of it but don't deny the Welsh success.

When England win or are even involved with anything there is no shortage of Welsh/Scottish jeerings, so live with it. Wales - just enjoy your win, don't worry about the moaners that's just a wound licking reaction, it's no big deal.
