What's your nationality?

First topic message reminder :

I'm interested in the composition of 606v2 - there's certainly a lot more Scots than I'd have expected for a start!

Eligable for both Ireland and England.

Lived long enough in Australia to have a soft spot for there.

Ireland first always though....no question

Good point, George North should tick England, for example. How misleading would that be?

Born in, live in and support England. Dad is Irish (lives in Louth) and I spent most of my holidays there as a kid but always lived in England. I did play a couple of games for the Dundalk Technical Institute back in the '90s but only to make up the numbers. The rugby banter with the old man was epic until about 2003, but has deteorated since which is entirely due to his ever increasing smugness and not my appaling sportsmanship

Born in international waters both parents English, both sets of Grandparents English, think there may be a few Welsh halfbreeds though as grandad had a wandering eye(as well as wandering other parts) when they had some farms in Glamorgan

So for me England

Irish born, lived in Roscommon,(where most of my family are from,some from skibb), for a while, then Nigeria(for about a year), Birmingham, now Bournemouth.

Dad from Birmingham.

Always have supported Ireland despite living outside of the country for most of my life.

So are you a Bournemouth or a Oaks man then?

Englishman with Irish and Scottish blood and relatives in Australia, America and Canada. Born London, bred in North Yorkshire and Somerset/Devon, now in London again

Could have sworn there were more Irish posters than just four, at least there were before we beat them

Could have also sworn there were more than 12 English posters, the rest must have taken leave early in anticipation of the hammering they'll recieve on Saturday, with the remaining 12 to follow them into obscurity afterwards

The Scottish are out in force now after one try in 5 tests. Alex Salmond is expected to add to the euphoria by making a speech on 'The Try' with the intention of inspiring the nation to see that impossible is nothing

Would love for the Pirates to get their new stadium and get promoted. Would be an almighty p*ss up when the Chiefs come visiting!

Increasingly unlikely with the turn the economy has taken.

I could play for Wales, England, Sweden, Norway or Spain. Shame I was awful.

In west philadelphia born and raised...

I support Scotland and Wales on account of being half and half. This poll does not support me

Did a couple of guys who where up to no good start making trouble in your neighborhood?

surprised at the amount of scots on here!

anyway- 100% english.

england

I definitely know more than 5 irish posters! There are more than 5 regular ulster posters alone.

Born and raised in Wales, so I support them. If you mean genetically, I'm a right mongrel - Welsh via Dublin and the West of England on my dad's side....Austrian, Yugoslavian (Croatian), Polish, Jewish on my mum's side.

English with Irish roots, so I don't mind seeing them doing okay too.

Not quite the big five, but 'the big two' has a certain ring to it!

We only need two to hunt the big five mate. No posse necessary.

Even the Lions get the @#$% kicked out of them by those Zebras (stripey horses) so the herbivorous Giraffe has no chance.

The Zebra will kick him in installments until eventually they can reach the desired target and kick them in the ##%^^.

The one with the girls who are the prettiest and least clothed, either in the stands or tv. Simple.

Otherwise I have one Welsh grandmother and three English grandparents, although one of my parents was born in Oz. I was born in Hong Kong and we moved about the Commonwealth quite a bit. But I generally root for England because my Uncle will have a hairball if I don't. Nothing better than every time England are on TV hearing him going off and saying "f*cking England! What the hell are they doing?" I have heard this my whole life.

Tiger or Lion. Discuss

Where are all the Irish posters? Are Kidney's dull, cautious, defensive tactics and conservative selections actually turning Irish people off rugby?

They'll all be back when the Heineken Cup returns. Which is much more important than this mickey mouse 6 Nations rubbish anyway.

My bother has traced all 4 grand parents back as far as possible and all are Welsh, no contamination to date and no inbreeding. I have let the side down as my wife is half Welsh/English but 100% supports Wales.

lion 100%

ChequeredJersey wrote:Tiger or Lion. Discuss

Lions are indigenous to Africa, Tigers not.

Tigers are good but Lions tend to be better I reckon, apart from at sprinting

Tigers! Tigers have so much more panache and general bad-assery. The only tiger not worth your time is a Leicester Tiger- the big cats themselves are awesome

I'm hedging my bets Feckless..... if we don't win our next 4 games I'm playing the Ulster-scots card........

Problem with Tigers are they roam the land solo. Lions on the other hand roam in packs.

Team work rules.

Born in Wales to an Irish mother and a Welsh/Canadian father. I've lived in the USA and South East Asia and I would certainly qualify on residency to play for England too. However, I'm not eligible to play for any country on account of having no talent.

Lions have better hair. that counts for something?

Surely the giraffes would be up for the ruck if they werent so chilled out after tucking into all that herb?

i think snow leopards are in all probabilty better than any other cat!

They are much prettier, certainly.
