Subject: THE STATE OF WELSH RUGBY!

What is it with the Welsh Rugby fans and the way they seem to be happy with their teams performance whatever the outcome? I mean the result against the All Blacks "crushing defeat" people said "well we expected it, at least we tried our best" Then they scraped a win by 1 point over the weak Fijians, and the reason was they are not gelling yet! Last week the South Africans, again the excuses flowed along with never ending praise and support for a gallant effort.
This thing about a learning curve cropped up and I thought this learning curve is more like a time loop! Ground Hog Day even.
Does anyone think that it could be the fans fault for the teams lack of passion on the day? As with 90% of them the rugby is secondary to a booze filled day out! Put it this way, Our ruby team is a professional outfit, getting payed to do a job, the same as any other world class player, yet the fan base tolerate and accept bad performances.
If you payed say a builder to do a job and he messed up would you say "ah but he tried hard love him" I don`t think so! you would demand your money back and it would make him try harder next time.
Or are the players in a feel safe situation however they perform? It`s been proven it`s not management, take a look at Henry and Hanson, If the fans showed more interest in performances by praising good and boo-ing bad and calling a spade a spade maybe it will put some fire into the players hearts.
There`s no reason why we should keep on accepting failure
What do other people think?
