Last Saturday, Wales lost out to Fiji in the Rugby World Cup. Pretty sad day for myself and my fellow countrymen, every Welshie I've spoken to since has been weirdly maudlin about the whole thing. Personally, I've come down from my insanity rage, caused by the ITV commentary on the match, which was disrespectful and borderline racist. Like to hear them talk about Scotland, Ireland or England the same way and not get Ofcom complaints. Anyways, not going to crap on too much, just wanted to alert any saddened Taffs out there to Rick Smith from Underworld's spectral take on a traditional Welsh hymn... brought a tear to the eye and a hefty dose of hiraeth to the heart...
