Don't want to get caught up in the conversation of famous Welsh people in the US, but I know that there were 15 boys today in Paris (excl. subs) that deserve to be famous in the US. If anyone missed the game today, then you missed a belter. I think the Welsh are on for the Grand Slam.

First you'd need to explain to Americans what Rugby is and how to play it.

This "world renowned baritone and voice coach" who lives a couple of miles from me is from Wales (but I've never heard of him.....)

Mike Moritz is apparently a Welshman; I was reading this article about Google when I noticed it.
