    You only have to watch these rugby games to get an understanding that players have equally the same, if not more passion, than football players but show the referee’s the upmost respect.

    England had two tries disallowed yesterday, one quite controversially, but the ref with TMO, made the decision. Captain called over and the decision was explained and the game restarted. No backchatting. The best thing is, you can hear everything the ref says even if you are sitting in the stands.

    The crowds are not the same as footie crowds. You can see people drinking beer etc at rugby and cricket yet there is seldom trouble. Why?

    There reason is, they enjoy the sporting spectacle and do not lose site that it is just that.
    If you think the Welsh are so magnanimous in defeat etc I’d suggest you try walking around a welsh town or city today in your England shirt.

    If I walked into a pub in Tenby in my England shirt today I’d be taking a physical risk.

    The incidents of wife beating will go through the roof in Wales today.

    Might try a South African accent on the miserable Welsh f uckers when they start whinging tomorrow about product returns/value for money. F uck the Jones and Jenkins and North Wales where you have to ask the f uckers to repeat their addresses six times!!!! Even Italian addresses are easier to decipher!!!

    Might say more about the English attitude than the Welsh attitude.

    I rest my case re the difference between rugby and football fans.
