Re: The sad case of a founding members and player of Wrexham Football Club (Massive history thread!)
Another consequence of Agincourt was the 2 fingered salute given by the welsh archers to the French to show they were ready for battle.
This was a result of the French cutting off the first 2 fingers of archers if caught, thus preventing them pulling back the string of the bow.....
Now on a different footing, as we know the all blacks do the haka as laying down a challenge prior to an international.....I firmly believe we the welsh should respond by giving our ancient archers salute in response to the haka to show we also are ready for battle.......
Forgive me on this totally different tangent..........."Roman soldier walks into a bar holds his 2 fingers up and says 5 beers please.""
