Quote: ninearches "Welsh lads certainly turned out to be some of the best players in League & probably the most famous i can remember is Billy Boston at Wigan. Most teams had Welshmen in their ranks but Union turning professional soon put paid to that. That day was probably the worst day so far in the history of Rugby League.'"
Another one of the worst days was England winning the RU World Cup in 2003, which led to a massive surge in popularity for their game.
The Welsh Union was bad, but remember that quote attributed to George Orwell, "A bomb placed under the West Stand at Twickenham would set back the cause of British fascism by 50 years".
