Not anyone, just those who are. I used the word ignorance earlier because I only offer opinions based upon what I know, whereas some regular posters clearly know next to nothing about Welsh players and spout absolute garbage.
On the subject of second rows, we’ve just lost Jake Ball, who I’ve always thought highly of and Hill is a very good all round player, who may well have secured the no. 4 shirt. AWJ will make the next World Cup and continues to set high standards. The jury is still out on Rowlands but having been dropped, Beard has been outstanding for the Ospreys. Then there is the new generation coming through that people won’t know if they don’t watch Welsh rugby: Ben Carter, Matthew Screech, Morgan Jones, Rhys Davies, Chris Tshiunza. Beyond Itoje, Launchbury and Ribbans, I’m not convinced that any English second rows would make the Welsh squad.
I do feel there’s a lot of anti Welsh sentiment on here, partly because of losing players like Jonah Holmes and Sam Costelow and partly because some just can’t stomach being beaten by your smaller neighbours. Imagine the German football team being regularly beaten by Luxembourg!
