Many English rugby fans face a difficult weekend as they have to choose carefully between feigning sympathy for the Welsh rugby team, or decide to snigger uncontrollably at their neighbours’ misfortune in the semi-final against France.
The amusement among the English was stoked early on with the harsh red card issued to the Welsh captain, and then compounded late in the match as they failed to take their chances to claim a heroic victory.
Pete Arnold from Stoke admitted, “The Welsh squad have made things very tricky for us.”
“Some wrote the match will ‘haunt Welshmen forever’. I certainly hope so!”
“But I’ve got a lot of mates in Cardiff and Swansea who are going to be rather edgy right now – not to mention drunk – so I’m hesitating as to what message to text them.”
“It’s either ‘the ref’s a loser’ or ‘ALLEZ LES BLEUS!’”
“I might have to flip a coin, to be honest.”
