My Welsh Hero in the 1990s - Neil Jenkins |
Over the past 20 years, since I can remember, the championship has always been built up for me with the quality of the BBC Wales and S4C adverts running up to the big kick-off.
The melodic sound of Cerys Matthews singing Ar Hyd Y Nos is the icing on the cake.
Mind you, this is one in a long line of memorable Welsh BBC rugby advertising.
Here for example, is a cartoon advert during 'The Great Redeemer' Graham Henry's time in charge. Note also, the Stereophonics cameo. It was time then, for Henry's Heroes.
Indeed, here's another.
But anyway, less of that.
Because for all it's worth, as Kelly Jones from the Stereophonics said...
C'MON CYMRU!
Very Interesting :)
ReplyDeleteI thought last years six nations advert was the best i've ever seen. It was simply brilliant!

Is that the right link? It sends me to some U2 in France stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt's meant to send you to the Invictus style Six Nations advert
ReplyDeleteI wonder where S4C got their inspiration?
