The Independent's Mock-Up Front Page Is Not Going Down Well With Some Welsh Fans

The Independent's Mock-Up Front Page Is Not Going Down Well With Some Welsh Fans

Remember when Ireland lost to Wales and babies were being thrown out with bathwater all over the place? Neither do we really. Anyway, it happened and the Western Mail in Cardiff published this, admittedly, rather humorous front page the following day in response to Neil Francis' tub of Flora jibe at Warren Gatland.

Things were looking down last Monday. Fast forward a week and after the most incredible day of rugby in many a living memory, we're on top of the world once more. And, it seems, that Welsh front page just couldn't be forgotten at a time like this.

The Irish Independent took some time out of their day yesterday to have some puntastic fun at the expense of the Welsh with their own mock-up of a front page.

Truth be told, we prefer the London Metro's attempt at a headline yesterday but nonetheless, the Independent seemed quite pleased with themselves, even directing the tweet at Wales Online (the online arm of the Western Mail). All in good fun of course.

However, as would happen if the shoe was on the other foot, some Welsh fans didn't really see the funny side of things.

We thought we'd leave this one till the end because it is particularly amusing. Did anyone else know that we as a nation are painted with a no teeth stereotype?
