England vs Wales
 
I am watching the last 10 minutes of this game and still 2 minutes to go and I think Wales will win it. What a try at the end and that kick from that guy from the middle of the field!!!!
Wow!!!

and yes I don't know much about Rugby so... :)
and why was the king to be (Inshallah :)) rooting for the Wales team? I honestly don't know this one.

William is a Vice Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (whatever that means), while his brother has links to the English Rugby Union. Maybe to do with his father being the Prince of Wales?

As for the result it was close, an English collapse is never to be ruled out, especially with the cork ball.

So when he becomes the king, if there is another England and Wales match, will he still be sporting the red jersey? Do you think thats proper?

and cork ball? I thought rugby balls were made of leather?

It doesn't bother me too much tbh. He would also be the king of Wales, Scotland, etc. Maybe he can get a special half and half jersey made up, along with matching half and half face paint.

Correct, I was referring to the all too familiar cricket collapse known throughout the cricketing world as 'doing an England'. At least in my house.

Think of the least important 'nation' or county nearby and lose to them. To them it's the biggest thing they'll have in their meaningless lives. To you it's just an annoyance, like getting dripped on or having to queue slightly longer for petrol.

I'm half Scottish so can't say that or Dad would disown me. In fact, the smug so-and-so said I had 24 hours after the loss to convert once and for all. :lol:
