Below's a cut & paste from FB. Assuming "Rybgi" is Welsh for Rugby - I actually is Welsh innit - but dunner speak it.
A bit of info to put rybgi in Wales in perspective:
"England, population 56,100,00 - rygbi clubs 2,000 - registered players (all sexes, ages) 2·5 million.
France, population . 65,000,000 - rygbi clubs 1,798 - registered players 360,847.
Ireland, population . 4,487,000 - registered players 153,823.
Wales, population . 3,000,000 - rygbi clubs 239 - registered players 79,800
Since 2003
Grand Slams -Wales 3, France 3, Ireland 1, England 1.
Triple Crowns - Wales 3, Ireland 4, England 2.
Championships - France 5, Wales 4, Ireland 1, England 1.
Not all doom and gloom peeps"
Think they may have conveniently missed out the New Zealand stats??

Re: Watching the rugby?
Just to double check Robo ,as a Welshman myself-
is it Rygbi or Rybgi?
the latter sounds something like a welsh bungee jump
sad game on Saturday though but your stat lists do cheer me up on a very wet Monday morning.
quick welsh joke-
A Welshman on a train says to his companion in a very welsh accent " see those roofs over there? I laid all those tiles by hand. do they call me Dai the roof....no" a minute later he turns again and says " see those fields over there? I ploughed them there fields all by hand with one horse. do they call me Dai the plough?...no" ........one bloody sheep it was !!
