First topic message reminder :

The SH teams don’t respect Wales 100% blah blah blah….

What is 1/2p on about? it has nothing to do with not respecting Wales, it’s just a case of they know they can win in a game of rugby because they believe in their own ability more than the Welsh boys do.

Once again all we hear is talk talk talk from the Welsh camp, concentrate on winning a game boys, you have the ability to do it so for the love of god show us.

Agreed. The Western Mail hasn't had a decent rugby rugby column since the days of J B G Thomas and John Billot, both sadly no longer with us.

The worst thing about the Western Mail is thas it declares itself to be the 'national newspaper of Wales'. People outside Wales might actually believe it.

So which Welsh paper I should reading to get accurate idea about Welsh rugby opinions?

There is no one 'national paper of Wales', so the local papers might be better, although their focus will be more on their own regions / regional players. So for the Dragons it would be the South Wales Argus (which isn't great either, but it's much better than the Western Mail). I don't know about the other local papers - I think it's the South Wales Evening Post for down Swansea way? The South Wales Echo is Cardiff's paper, but be warned: it's produced by the same people who print the Western Mail.

But I'm not rude or offensive Viewtothegym, I was once (I left out Scott Gibbs from a poll to find the greatest Centres of all time) and I picked up a 2/3 day ban, but I've learnt my lesson and won't be doing that again! thumbsup

There have been some good points and stories raised on this thread.

So there is no good rugby paper from Wales? Do you think that influence the very partisan opinion of some Welsh posters?

I love the Western mail, they do some great rugby polls.

like who was the best player in the 2011 RWC. The top 4/5 players were all unsurprisingly all Welsh. picard

I don't think it makes much of a difference. Most Welshmen can't read. Wink

You've got to hand it to Hersh - it's all about knowing your customers. He doesn't even bother to read the link, creates a nothing article inventing the interpretation and then gets over 100 comments. Brilliant marketing mate. If you're not in sales you should be.

I don't think he is very good,
Hersh is no different to the guy who does a silent fart in the lift just as his floor arrives,
he then steps out and leaves the rest to blame each other.

Or as he average person would call him a little crap stirrer.

I speak the truth in my posts and its usually a plucky Scot or depressed Irish man reporting me because they are in a mood.

Well when your team goes to australia and wins maybe then he'll show a little more respect?

Welcome back to 606v2 Gym, but to be honest I'm not a fan of yours either, but do feel free to contribute to the article as I'm sure someone might read your efforts. thumbsup

I take it you don't want to be my friend?

Rather the Hershmeister and his harmless wumming than that censored

who changes his username every 2 weeks. To think greyghost, nottins, welshladgareth are 'lifers'... Erm

Truth to tell ALL the NH sides except Scotland on the basis of Club/6Ns/etc.on a 3 match basis expected at least one win.NOW face the unpalatable truth the Boks and Australia are extremely difficult to beat at Home.All BlacKs there is nigh on impossible about 36 matches in107 years against all comers lost.
Sides currently 1,2,3 IRB are difficult to beat at Home let alone away. That the
NH Countries all got within One score of a win is a very creditable performance.THE Short Tour format with the travel factor gives all the advantages to the Home side.THE GREAT Welsh side late 1960`s-70s was considered THE worst to have ever toured there in 1969.BUT it was a turning point the Coaching in the NH had caught up and overtaken the SH.The AllBlacks were by there high standards poor for most of the 1970`s a Lions loss,2 Bok tour losses another Lions loss should have happened but didn`t.England went in against a stacked deck LoftusVersfeld and Port Elizabeth the scene of MANY All Black losses.Scotland just played what was in front of them won all 3 not bad when you note 2 of the 3 sides were rated above them.

Wales are down to 6th place in the IRB rankings. Doh

by HERSH Wed 27 Jun 2012, 12:07 pm

Not the reaction I'd thought there would be to that little bit of offical information.

I'm sure they'll get 5th place back when the AI kick off.

It's not breaking news, Hersh.

Oh I dunno dontheman, think I'm ms good a fan as any on here, if you took my statement in the same joking vein as the 'play the Welsh as warmup' statement I was replying to you may see the joke, weak as it may have been.... though I thought it funny when I wrote it.

Everyone gets in a group with a top 4 team (even if its yourself) so it doesn't matter your ranking at all.
It does seem strange how often you have played them recently. Mind you, you played the ABs 3 times in 2010 and didn't have much luck then either.

by jimmyinthewell68 Thu 28 Jun 2012, 8:16 am

well nganboy it be sixth time we played them come November if we lose this it be embarrassing even tho they are a better side then us .thats hell of a lot of games in a year against one team . plus the Welsh players picked for the lions .
