First topic message reminder :

OK, every year we see threads that actually contain really good rugby discussion derailed by the ongoing Wales vs England bickering and WUMMING! I will name no names. I guess we have all been guilty Tumbleweed .

Since most of the general bickering comes from the respective fans of Wales and England kiss ; I thought I would create a thread for it in an effort to keep decent rugby discussion relatively WUM free in other threads. warning

So I will begin, An article in the Western Mail today pointed out how England are copying Gatlands youthful approach with a squad that has an average age of 25 and 428 caps between them.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/rugbynation/rugby-news/2012/01/12/analysis-new-look-england-follow-youthful-wales-lead-91466-30105333/

Wales probable squad (once you have taken out Shane and Wellies from the World cup squad with their probable replacements) lines up at the same average age and about 820 caps between them. England are copying Wales' approcach but are way behind. Clearly all things point to a wales victory in HQ this year. Wales

post script

Please may I emphasise that this is a bickering and banter thread, whilst mild wumming and banter are allowed please try not to stray over the line of decency.

England could always pull off the odd test win against NZ even in the 70's. I was at the Wales v NZ game when we were 12-10 up when right at the end Andy Haden and his mates jumped out of the line out - It was a great call but not at the time. thumbsup

I think we can all agree it was a moral victory for Wales, and on their day, they would have won that one. Hug

As a young (English) player I remember looking up to the Welsh as great wizards of the game at that time. Until Billy Beaumont's 1980 slam. I think results evened up a little after that, tho' no doubt you can quote me the actual 80s stats. In fact tell me. I recall I watched England beat NZ in Nov '83, in the days you could still but tickets at Twickenham.

Wales beat England 7 times in the eighties, including winning a triple crown in Twickenham and a quarterfinal in the Wrold Cup.

Bill Beaumonts 1980 side were not great but we had to play England in Twickenham and after two weeks of character assasination in the press Paul Ringer was sent off for a nothing offence. We still managed to score two tries and under todays rules the 9-8 loss would have been a 10-9 win to Wales. That was my first visit to HQ. After that we beat you 7 times till 1989.

Ruby, both sides were 'average' in the 80s. esp contrasted with Welsh dominance in 70s. Bill's 1980 grand slam was devalued then ? I had not realised that. Well I enjoyed it at the time, butI confess it did not convince me. 1980's decade - Wales got 3 spoons and one 1st (1988). England got 2 spoons some 2nds and 4ths. Both sides pretty erratic /average. The side I did look up to in those days was definitely France, neither Wales nor England exactly inspired me. I had to wait to 2001-2003 for that.

That would take away one of your grand slams MS and Im not trying to rewrite anything, we lost in 1980 but made up for it in subsequent years.

In 20 years someone will be claiming the victory back on the basis that a charge down try is down worth 20 points.

coming bottom of a championship was not the wooden spoon, that was then only awarded to a team that lost every game. Just like the slam is for sombody who wins every game. Wales first wooden spoon was in 91 I think.

In the last ten years people seem to be calling the team that finishes bottom wooden spoon holders but that certainly was not the case historically. Im not really sure why this change has happened but for me the wooden spoon is still somthing only awarded to the team that loses to everyone.

Glas a DU- 'Overwhelming favourites sometimes come unstuck away from home!!

Too true, but whywould you bring this up on an England v Wales thread, unless ??? no. you can't mean it ? Can i just say as someone with more than an inkling of knowledge (sociology A level Wink ) That meglamania and self -deception are not the way forward, for you, or any one else in the 'Principality'.

Face facts BEFORE Saturday, and you will find that the Cruel reality that Wales and her followers are used to, is the real deal, and not some side that finagled their way to 4th place in WC.

Also let me remind you all that as you put it 'Overwhelming favourites' are not ranked below the team they are about to play at Home, and who won the 6 nations last year, while Wales came 4th. So a heavy dose of reality is what is needed, and unless i'm wrong you all might be depressed come Saturday evening. thumbsup

Wales will should win EW but at the end of the day they're the ones under pressure to deliver the Slam this year not England.

Pressure can be a funny thing sometimes, fingers crossed we hang in there as I think Wales might crumble in the last 10 mins if that is the case.

I think you're in for more than a heavy dose worrier - Trying to hang on to history as an indicator is a bit desperate mate - must have been the Irish mauling last year instead of joining us recent Grand Slammers that did it thumbsup

When was the last time England were really walloped at Twickenham? Despite facing some fairly terrifying teams in recent years, we've not been humilated in a good while. Even in a worst case scenario we'll be close enough on 65-70 minutes to have hope of closing out a win.

Looks like it will be mild and overcast, so it'll be a good track to play on.

"Recent Grand Slammers" - hilarious. Honestly you Welsh never cease to amaze me with your glass-half-full attitude to losing things.
