[QUOTE="TRF_RC, post: 372492, member: 47315"] I love Banter, when i used to play rugby i loved having a go at the opposition. Doing shitty little things to them just to wind them up (i was a scrum half, it's my job) was great fun. But there's something i don't like about Gatland when he starts having a go at the opposition. We weren't favourites to begin with, i personally wanted us just to keep a low profile, go into the game, play our best and if we win then we'd all be happy, but if we lose our critics would only talk about our game. As a fan of a serverly under achieving national squad (how are we still ahead of fiji in the IRB world rankings BTW?) it hurts to watch a team - where a good handful of players are deemed "world class" - fail to perform over and over again. The last thing we need is Gatland trying to "rattle" the opposition. The pundits always say to shut up when facing New Zealand coz they'll make us pay. That's the one team i'd happily yapp on about. They're gonna punish us anyway! But the other 7 teams ahead of us in the world rankings (and 3 or 4 below) should be treated with respect (I'm not saying All Blacks SHOULDN'T be treated with respect BTW) and we should concentrate on analysing our game rather than giving interviews to the ******* Sun about Hartley. Nobody in Wales gave a **** about Hartley before the game and we still don't give a **** about Hartley. I just hope we leave Scotland alone this week, keep our heads down, get out of the bastarding gym and concentrate on the rugby. Maybe we can get some results that way...and little bit of respect from the rest of the nations instead of them laughing at us. [/QUOTE]
