2000 years ago Ceasar mass murdered 200,000 - men, women and children from the Celtic tribes who fought against Roman (Italian) tyranny and murder. They fought for the Celtic way of freedom, individuality - those values we hold so dear today - they cried and died for FREEDOM. The remnants of those tribes sought refuge in Britain - and were welcomed as our cousins. We should not forget....
Whether it is a game or not - we should not forget what price Freedom comes and who fights for it first and always - WE DO!
Celtic tradition was to pit our greatest warrior against the same from our foe - in that way great blood letting was prevented and Celtic ethos and ways florished.
Times changed - now we pit our men against "the enemy" in a "game" with set out rules that often are flouted or ignored by an impartial adjudicator! "Blind" referees!
On this day we pit 11 men against one of our oldest foes, The Romans - They might be in the guise of some elaborately quafered ballerinas in blue - playing with a round ball! They are still the enemy from 2000 years ago!
The scene is set in Milan.... and the skillful Azuree take on our Red shirted rugged warrior ruffians from Wales - rhefelwyr o Gymru.
Our boys should: Take the game to them - play the game hard and tackle firmly - move men as chess pieces with fast incisive thrusts. Do not dither with indicision - speed of thought, speed of movement. Make the ball move, fast. Pass and strike on target. Score goals!
This game is about FREEDOM, All Wales wants to shake off the english shadow and we want the world to see our ways and our BOYS do well.
Go our boys and play well.....
