Proud to be a Welsh Aussie.
Strange title I know, but for 80 minutes last night I was convinced I was Australian! Why you may ask?!
Well the Aussies were Playing England in the rugby union World Cup. If Australia beat England, Wales would progress through to the next stage. So every time the Aussies approached to score a little cheer came from me!
So this was no better opportunity than to support the Aussies and of course watch the English get beaten, and go out of their own tournament! The first host country not to get out of the group stages!
It never ceases to amaze me that the English think it’s their divine right to win. Let’s be honest football World Cup, the last time England won that was 1966. They never won the euro championship and the rugby World Cup, yes they have won it 12 years ago and yes that was a special team with lots of world class players. Last nights players are not in the same league as those players.
Enough of that though! Wales are through to the quarter finals and what an achievement considering all the injuries they suffered.
So bring on the Aussies and of course any allegiance I had to Australia has now gone! The one thing I did see last night was an average team (Australia) beat a second class team (England). The Welsh will not fear the Australians and they can easily beat them and top their group.
Proud and Welsh and just maybe this is our World Cup!

I couldn't help but chuckle each time Australia got a penalty or try. It's not that I dislike the English it's just that the media would make such a huge fuss if they won that it'd be unbearable! I found the Aussies to be extremely untidy yesterday and really they should've won by a bigger margin.
