Put red dragon on the Royal Standard

-

THE demands that the Welsh rugby team should be renamed Cymru and that the emblem should be a red dragon instead of the three feathers might be acceptable to extreme Welsh nationalis­ts but not to the average patriotic Welsh rugby fan who is quite comfortabl­e with the way Welsh internatio­nal rugby has been identified since 1880.

Vincent Tan tried the same thing at Cardiff City but Bluebirds fans rebelled and got their old kit back.

A better idea for the red dragon would be to put it in one of the two quarters of the Royal Standard occupied by the English lions.
