Austin Healy where art thou?

Come on lad speak up! quick to run down slow to praise.
Jealousy is a bad trait.

So is gloating, especially when it might be premature.

Read some of the stuff he has been saying on his twitter. Disgraceful, if the beeb hopefully ever see's some of the stuff he says about the Welsh like he always has done he will never be near our TV sets again, and thank god for that

Enjoy the win. No one gave us a cat in hells chance today. The boy's played well and we got a win in Ireland, us welsh fans need to stay optimistic not pessimistic.

He said Ireland would beat us and do it well, so how is that premature?
Also reckons the world cup was a fluke and we would score many tries.

To be fair even some all of the Welsh pundits lacked confidence but I said a few times that I was quietly confident we could do it.

would not score many tries*

+1 Let the rugby do the talking like today.

What is Healey saying on Twitter out of curiosity?

True Cymroglan,
Gwyn Jones is a smart guy and had a sad end to his international career but i get the impression the guys from his era seem to enjoy being negative about anything welsh rugby.

Its about time they to started believing and backed all the young talent we have.

Of course we should enjoy the win, but we're one game into the tournament and shouldn't start crowing just yet.

P.S. I'm not Austin Healey.

Calling the welsh belle ends and saying how he was going to block everyone of us, unbelievable really but I don't expect any less of the man. Type in austin healy twitter and just read

I agree let's not get carried away, still got England away and France at home, but i'm optimistic and confident we can beat anyone, and today we didn't play anywhere near our best, yet we beat a tough Irish side away from home. This team can go as far as they like, and I hope they can fulfill their potential.

The signs are good, Martyr, I have to admit...

Just been on twitter WOW!! what an idiot effing and jeffing at all the Welsh calling them all jobless benefit scroungers, asking if we are all in McDonald's watching the game.

Well one must assume coming from the North West he has been slapped about by some lads from Wrexham or something hence the insecurity.

Austin Healy got it wrong? Big deal.

Austin Healy has been abusive to the Welsh? No surprise there, he has form for upsetting almost every nation on Earth.

Austin Healy is a gobshoite, he's an English gobshoite and has probably had perlenty of stick for that in his time from Welsh, Scottish and Irish rugby fans.

Where's the story?

luckless,

If we can keep Adam fit and sort our line out out then we will be there there or about's at the end. Any idea if Alun Wyn is fit for any of the games or charteris for that matter??

Sure Alun Wyn may be back for England but Chateris out for all of it.

Charteris is definitely out for the whole tournament.

Admittedly Healy is being incredibly offensive and bigoted, utterly lacking in class. How the BBC manage to part with good money for his sake I cannot understand.

Still, we should rise above this and not respond with similar venom and bile. We're one game in, a good win which spells promise for the rest of the tournament. To be on the safe side I'd rather not say anymore

...except roll on Scotland

View,

we need him with Davies sure to be out for the six nations, we can get away with playing Ryan Jones at lock next week against Scotland, but need Jones back for England definately.

Regards to the Healy twitter thing, it really is disgusting isn't it, what a low life.

How's he being bigoted? He's responding to 'probably' insulting twitters to him. He's not generalising. In fact he specifically says he's not generalising, just at the idiots abusing him

The guy is a small angry man who can't hack being wrong.

Yep it would be great to have Wyn Jones, Matthew Rees and Jenkins back by the England game which is looking very likely

That's the thing, he's probably had dozens and dozens of insulting tweets just because he had the temerity to suggest that Wales would have a poor Six Nations. We only get to read the tweets he made in response.

Did you read these bits?

"the abuse from welsh shows what type of people they are ask for opinion then scream swear and shout when you give it"

"please if you are welsh and small minded(likely)..."

"...love the way the welsh come out with abuse eitherway"

"oh I see good one because I did a dancing show I must be gay.. is that why we've never seen a welshman on mastermind"

Now to me a lot of that looks like generalisation. I have no doubt that he has had to put up with quite a lot from the idiotic stalkers and for that I'm sorry but he should know better than to respond like that. When you make subtle suggestions that most people from one nation are small-minded and tend to the same characteristics, or tar with one brush to sum it up, you're always taking a risk of upsetting people. That Healey has been clueless enough not to realise this is one thing but the fact that he's either remained ignorant to it since or downright refused to own up is another.

To be fair to Healey if he's tweeting in the company of several dozen viewtothegym's there's no wonder he's getting a bit fruity.

usual cutting edge response from safeasmilk

Cannot believe there are so many 'sensitive types' out there.
He's only giving his opinion, please remember opinions are like bumholes, everyones got one!
If he offends you so much, there is an unsubscribe button on twitter and a volume control on the TV!
