We asked who you don’t want to win the Six Nations

‘It’s convention to hate England’


We walked around campus to try and find out which European rugby nation you dislike the most.

We just wanted to be sure England is still the most hated team.

Khima, Scottish, first year, Law

I’m pretty sure that’s blasphemous for a Scot.

“England, they’re so much better than us in every sport!”

“And they’ll probably win..the buggers.”

Carley, Scottish, first year, History

I hate them both, but I’m still smiling.

“It’s between England and France, because they always beat Scotland at Murrayfield. But it’s probably France.”

Dan, English, second year, Geography and Economics

You’re not actually Welsh!

“Wales by a mile.

“My flatmate pretends to be Welsh and he gives a lot of chat which becomes pretty unbearable.”

Irene, American, third year, History

It’s obvious isn’t it?

“France.

“Just because they’re France really. Who actually wants them to win?”

Cammy, Scottish, first year, Maths

But they’ll never take..OUR FREEDOM!

“England.

“Well it’s tradition to hate England isn’t it?”

Stephanie, Scottish, first year, English

I don’t speak French

“France. They always sing in French on Eurovision.

“How inconsiderate.”

Matthew, English, third year, History

I forgot my umbrella

“Wales, for all the grey rainy holidays I had to endure in my youth.”

Rachel, Scottish, first year, Philosophy and French

I liked Gavin & Stacey though

“It’s got to be Wales. I have too many English friends to say England.”

“I just don’t like Wales that much.”

Ryan, Irish, second year, Economics

I’m sorry to say it again, but it’s England

“Definitely England.

“Well, it’s convention to hate them.”

Emma, English, first year, Philosophy & Politics

Sound logic

“Italy, because they always beat us at football, so it’s only fair that we get to beat them in rugby.”

Not as many people hate England as we thought.
