I am French, my father is French and he gave me his passion for rugby in Wales.
I grew up watching the videotapes of the exploits of Bob Evans, Ken Jones, Barry John, Gareth Edwards, Phil Bennett, JPR Williams, John Taylor, Gerald Davies, Scott Gibbs, Scott Quinnell, Neil Jenkins ...
I love this country and these people and I think living in Wales one day. Saturday I will be wholeheartedly with the Welsh, as is the case since 20 years. I will fly the Welsh flag in France, you can trust me.
from a scotsman, ive always liked the welsh team seeing as my little sisters are half welsh, good luck today.
Time to watch this again now before we play Ireland for the grand slam 2019.
I can say I'm extremely proud to be Welsh! Watching now in 2021 as Alun Wyn captains the lions
listened to the Blims in a Brynteg assembly today, what a great way to start the day COME ON WALES!!!
i'm in love with a song, again. thank's be to the wonderful, wonderful blims. i'll side with the whippet beans on the geordieland gig request, and wales in the old rugger. peace.
Cymru am byth, well done lads always been proud to be welsh even when we have llost because you always leave it all on the pitch and when we win it bring the nation even closer your heroes now go out and party like only the welsh can you deserve it !!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my Uncle in the ice cream van!
love love love them!!!!! and what a great voice too! was honoured to see you yesterday xxxx
I've been living in Wales since 2006 and became a massive rugby fan despite originating from 'neck of the woods' where rugby is rather treated with pinch of salt. I love Welsh culture and people, their passion for rugby, flair for music & singing, their friendliness, hospitality and pride in their country. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for Wales, my second home. I am so thankful to live & work here and contribute to my local community and this country. Wales to win the Grand Slam!!!
Absolutely brilliant, we have needed a song like this for a very long time. Whilst the classics by Max Boyce are great this song is amazing. Thank you for such a great feel good song!
I never tire of this song, I can not stop listening! Beautiful song, beautiful pictures, what else!

I love the line 'You gave it your best boys we'd never complain'. So true

LOVE IT!!!! Gotta love being welsh mind you!!
Well done boyos and so glad you managed a shot of the best chippie in Wales, "A Fish Called Rhondda". From an Englishman who enjoyed a few years of living in Cwm Parc,Treorchy. You can see my old house in those shots from The Bwlch.
Everybody digs an afro... and a great sing along song supporting Wales! Nice one fat russel brand and all other Blim members!
"Along time ago before I was born we once had a team that was always adored,
with sidesteps and sideburns and grand slams galore,
our magical boys wrote there names in folklore.
Through eighties and nineties our fortunes would fade
though the passion and pride would soon be repaid
in noughty's the sweet song soon replace moans
we sang calon lan as the grand slams came home.
So proud to be welsh
Still gives me goosebumps!!!

verse 2
Now the new generation is quiet and calm made us proud at the world cup with flair and your charm
and we'll always remember your red carded pain
you gave it your best boys we would never complain.
So with wingers like mountains and forwards who step
We'll sing land of my fathers and never forget
about sidesteps and sideburns and all that before
now this is your time boys , its your time to score.
Spankingly Superb
Took about the first 10seconds for me to decide to download this and COME ON WALES
