At last! The pinnacle of rugby achievement…Wales are the IRB World Champions. Is this a dream? No. Wishful thinking? No. We haven’t hit WRC2011 yet. No. Wales have just won the IRB Sevens World Cup. I know one know about it.

I was shocked when I read an erroneous report on the BBC based on a Scrum V interview. That Wales, last Saturday beat the best Sevens teams in the world and it hit these shores without a whimper. What the hell is wrong with the media? This should be celebrated from the roof tops! Where’s the parade? Where is the homecoming for our warriors from far shores?

Nothing. Zip. Nada. Just a Scrum V interview. No TV coverage. No news spots. No fanfare.

Well, I call on all those who were passionate about British rugby to make a song and dance. From reports, the English supporters were roaring to choruses of “Delilah” around the Dubai stadium. This is a win for a Northern Hemisphere team that does not come regularly for any of us. And considering these boys represent second string teams in England and Wales is a testament to the talent that exists out there.

I am a proud Welshman…it’s just a damn shame I cannot see what I am proud about.
