Albert Tatlock Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Barbarians vs. the All Blacks? Indeed. With many of the great Welsh stars of my 70s childhood, and the melodious tones of Cliff Morgan (himself a former Welsh outside half) commentating. With (then amateur until 1995) rugby being such a part of the close-knit Welsh way of life, these guys were people everyone saw about town etc. and contributed to the closeness that the Welsh feel to their team and national sport that only the New Zealanders come close to matching. Only in those two countries is it the sport fo the working class. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nice to know. My awareness of Wales revolves around some historical Novels about Llywelyn Fawr, Doctor Who (produced in Cardiff) and the fact that one branch of my family fled the coal fields of South Wales in the 1700's.
