10 reasons why Wales won the Grand Slam

First topic message reminder :

1. Defence was fantastic
2. Great tries from Williams Roberts Cuthbert JD2
3. Brilliant kicking from 1/2p
4. Steady line out from Owens and Rees
5. Strong breakdown work from Warbs AWJ and Lydiate
6. Strong scrum platform from Adam and Gethin
7. Gats faith in RP who had a shocker against England but stayed on and got better in the last quarter
8. North was a massive threat pulling in defenders
9. Strength in depth with Owens Tipuric Williams
10. Only need 14 men anyway
11. We are the Welsh and play with pride and ambition

16 - Poland

I'd have thought the S at the end of Lawes would be enough in itself to place him under heavy suspicion of being a Welsh accomplice but it took so long for them to suss him

I take it people failed to notice the significance of Ben YoungS playing terribly when he came on at Twickenham?

Yes, we have such a good record at Lansdowne Road and Twickenham...

Teams that have both Italy and Scotland at home more often that not win the 6 nations, two easy games allow some momentum to be built.

You missed my point 10!

England every other year???

Geez. There actually are 10...

HERSH that is a pathetic excuse.

Think about it...! Some teams get Italy and Scotland at home over three consecutive weekends of home games and can't win a Grandslam even when Wales, Ireland and France are off form.

It got a reacting though!

It is catching someone in the act of a reaction.

My bad!

That’s what liquid lunches do for you; anyway shouldn’t you be cooking your husband’s tea?

Trolling:- to attempt to incite a negative or argumentative reaction in an online discussion.

The question is do trolls, troll, or do they meander through threads trolling?

Most trolls trawl the boards and stick in a comment whenever the timing is right. The most creative write their own threads, thus opening their mouths inviting everyone to throw food in. Unfortunately many people do just that.

HERSH certainly spends a lot of time inciting arguments by posting things he know will annoy people. Always aimed at Welsh posters.

I think that is technically xenophobic Trolling.

As a moderator does that serve some use to us other posters? It seems to be more of a persistent, repetitive annouance that ruins the interesting discussions posted by the majority of posters who only have an interest in rugby.

Wow, this thread has done well

It all builds Maes. eventually the inevitable will happen.

Keep up the good work Bil.

How many reasons are we up to now? Last one i saw was 16?

eirebilly wrote:How many reasons are we up to now? Last one i saw was 16?

Wow, you have more...

Soon you should contact the OP and ask him to amend it to 20 reasons.

I was thinking that we could at least get to 22

eirebilly wrote:I was thinking that we could at least get to 22

One for each player in the atch day 22.

What about the coach and the support staff. 25 surely...

Not to mention 70 000 odd thousand spectators.

17. The other sides were badly coached.
18. Lansdowne Road is too quiet for Ireland to play at their best.
19. Fergus McFadden (sorry couldn't resist).
20. The Welsh mindset and confidence has improved.
21. Awww, awww (Jiffy's words, not mine).

Hell, 70,000 biltong

I prefer "but fools never differ"

That´s discriminating against the millions around the world who watched the game on TV or on the big screen. I wore red underwear as well as a green jersey on St Patrick´s Day. I can´t believe I haven´t got a mention yet.

70 million? Feck Wales is growing fast!

I just re-read biltongs post Knowsit, well spotted

OK, Kudo's you caught me.
