In sports: another attempt... Rugby - a game, a connoisseur of the British character think only an Englishman I can invent this ball game: looking for an activity at the British national virtues in the game unfold: fight will, endurance and hardness, which finds its limit in fairness.
Anyway: when two high-class teams – as in this case meet the national teams from Wales and England -, then the British for a few hours forget the economic malaise, the inflation and unemployment in their country.
