I think he meant compared to the English you over achieved as your average place was 3rd while 4 of the 5 last places were English.

Its alright lads, the Welsh can piggy back off others success as usual. No teams in the quarter finals of either European competition is pretty embarrassing for a "nation" that claims rugby is its national sport

Back to the drawing board eh, I'm sure the nasty Irish are some how at fault

Well thats an odd post

I’m curious, BamBam, are you an England or Ireland fan?

I'm an England fan, but have a lot of respect for the success that Ireland have seen over the last decade. The usual suspects whining about how it's unfair gets on my tits

Fair enough.

I’m lost, is BamBam arguing with himself? Seems to have come out of nowhere to slag off the Welsh (which is not unheard of). We always knew he was full of it, but having an argument with oneself on a forum is verging on madness. Anyway, 6 Nations time soon, will England do better than 5th? Is the final weekend (Wales vs Ireland) a super Saturday?

In here? I remember the Franglo’s whining it was unfair and weighted in others favour. So with just 1 and 2 teams in the latter stages are they going to cry and attempt to change things up again?

More that the Italians qualified without being good enough.

Mikey, it was far past your bedtime posting that. Pretending to be on another continent is the definition of madness if you ask me
