Quote: Grendel "Oh come come now Barry.
You know there are thousands of registered rugby players in Wales already. Though both games are not the same, to do a conversion job is quite feasible for most of them.
In Bridgend for instance Wales' greatest rugby school (and on 2 occasions BRITAIN's reatest rugby school) now has far more take up for RL than it has for Union.
As a typical example, the Evans brothers who singed for Warrington youth (and have played for England but apparently will be representing Wales henceforth) came out of Brynteg (before the Cru youth scheme took off).
And as regards the 1940s producing not only huge Welsh representation in English club sides, but such illnesses as rickets and diptheria, well the former can be seen as a "good thing" and the latter two as a "bad thing".
Because of when these conditions were commonplace, would you also ban WD-40, nylon, radar, jet turbines, spam?
A transparent fallacy there Barrold, though oft used on here. You have combined the Analogical Fallacy and Bifurcation .Might I recommend a book called "How to win every argument" by Madsen Pirie? Most gambits used on this board are in there.'"
'Madsen Pirie' is my 'nom de plume'
Glad you enjoyed my tome sir.
The great Barry McKenzie oft starts an argument but never loses one as I'm sure you are well aware by now
