Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!! -
One win in ten years doesn't make a great side, however it was a fully deserved victory and a good game to watch.
Shows Scotland can raise their game alot.
Shows England have a lot more work to do if they want to get anywhere near a WC final.

2 professional clubs in Scotland vs 12 in England.
RFU spends over £100m a year on investment in the game. SRU managed £2.8m last year.
Have a read of this one from 2012. 5 years ago now but the numbers wont have changed that much.

So perhaps the number of players at junior level is rather more significant than total population.
So who's looking tulipe now, I wonder...
Perhaps you might like to think again, if you are capable of independent thought that is...Comment

Originally posted by bulltraderpt View PostThe point, you evidently miss was that Rugby is THE sport of BOTH New Zealand and Wales.
Perhaps you might like to think again, if you are capable of independent thought that is...
And, just for perspective I'm a Welshman who played first 15 rugby and have close links to New Zealand
So well done on demonstrating both ignorance and intolerance n a three line post.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Originally posted by malvolio View PostIt's not the leading sport in Wales and hasn't been for many years.

Clubs/associations have to get the next generation of players from somewhere and they are well aware while some state school kids may like football and athletics as that's all they have been offered so far, if they interest them in rugby, rowing or tennis* and make it accessible they could get new players some of whom may actually be very good.
Though with contact sports nutters like this don't help - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...sk-say-experts
*Just the random sports clubs/associations I know who have done such work in state schools at primary and secondary levels. Tennis targets primary, rowing targets secondary while rugby clubs target both."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
