RWC: Wales goes bonkers…

Or as the Independent on Sunday puts it :

Rydyn ni gyd yn Gymry nawr…

There are three sheep for every human, and in winter it’s the wettest place in  Britain. But today Wales, the most maligned member of the union, can hold its head up as the mightiest after becoming the only British country to secure a place in the semi-finals of the rugby World Cup.

Wales Online captures the mood.

DOES it get any better than this?
Well, we might be about to find out in the next week or two.
Wales are off to Auckland with dreams of World Cup glory very much intact.

Tomorrow’s Western Mail front page.

So in Love. The players cherish one other….the nation adores them too.

Oh come on – it’s only a game!
