Brian Moore - The Legend of Rugby

[vegster]

They have a red button for alternative commentary and it wouldn't be like they're waiting for the first opportunity to lay into anything English would it. He played at a time when Welsh rugby was laughable and they find it irksome that he was on the winning side overwhelmingly against them. That they should still feel this way and be concerned about him when they have such a successful side, would seem to indicate that they have a chip on their shoulders that they were not born English.[/QUOTE]

I always suspected that of the Welsh.

And you don't hear many of the English license payers, of which there are about 15x as many, whinging about Eddie Butler being welsh and, understandably, having a slight bias towards them.

Is exactly right. We had to put up with Bill Maclaren as well. Brian Moore talks a lot of sense in rugby terms.
