Congrats to the Welsh. After nearly 30 years in the rugby wilderness, you deserve a little bit of happiness.

And why not congratulate the Welsh community in the US? I would expect to congratulate a sports fan of any nationality that had just won a major event.

Re: First Grand Slam since 1978
I think it's great that the Taffs won. Around about this time of year I think of a Welsh buddy of mine who succumbed to cancer at the young age of 27, I wish he could've lived to have celebrated this.
Anyway, I'd be asking him this question: shouldn't Wales be disqualified from the tournament on the grounds that they're not a real country?
