All Blacks - Grand Slam Tour.

[An t-Ileach]

So, tomorrow England play the All Blacks and the English actually expect the Welsh, Scots, and Irish to be cheering for them.

There'll be many an All Blacks shirt around She Bu tomorrow that talks with a Welsh accent.

I think that the "Celtic Fringe" will be ardently hoping that the Kiwis can make it a Triple Humiliation following on from the successes of the Wallabies and the 'Boks in thrashing the English.

It kind of reminds me of the Stereophonics' song "As long as we beat the English...".

I think the English soccer teams also have this hope for every major tournament.



I would actually buy an All Blacks jersey just to wear to watch that game.

The Australia vs Wales game should be a good one.

My brother-in-law just recently saw his first Rugby match (in the flesh, not on TV). He was a former Big-10 football (USA style) line backer (some 50+ years ago), and was stunned! He remarked afterwards that US football players are wimps compared to the Rugby players! I just smiled, (having spent my formative years in Ireland) and told him I agreed. (I never played Rugby, just Cricket, and a little Football (soccer).

I think you were probably right. But it's kind of sad that so many people have to bask in other peoples glory because they have none of their own.
