Rename the Prince William Cup the Ray Gravell Cup
Target:
To pay tribute to Welsh rugby legend and true gentleman of our nation, we should rename the Prince William Cup (an English Prince who supports England) the Ray Gravell Cup (a true patriotic Welshman).
Sponsored by:
On the 31st of October the Welsh rugby legend, Ray Gravell passed away while on holiday in Spain while recovering from having his leg amputated after suffering from complications with diabities. He was part of the Llanelli team who beat the All Blacks of New Zealand at Stradey park.
Diolch/Thank you.
Ray Gravell won 23 caps for Wales and played in all four tests for the Lions during the 1980 tour of South Africa. Since his retirement from the game he remained closely involved with rugby and became President of Llanelli while forging a new career both as an actor and sports broadcaster with the BBC and S4C.
He lived in South West Wales with his wife Mari and their daughters Manon and Gwenan. A proud Welshman, he was also a member of the Gorsedd.
On the 24th of November Wales play South Affrica at Cardiff for the Prince William cup. An Englishman who has done nothing for Welsh Rugby!
Diolch/Thank you.

I watched Manon and Gwenan walk out with our wonderful Wales squad yesterday [March 15, 2008 - Grand Slam!]and realised that their dad's love of rugby was being passed on to them - just as my late father [Derrick Walsh, Cardiff 1953/54]did with me. This is the Ray Gravell Cup in our hearts, whatever the crachach say !

The cup is named after a man irrelevant to Wales and South Africa. It must be asked how the administrators of Wales's national sport can be so distant from the fans.

Prince William has no right to his name on the cup, nor has Prince Phillip a right to his name on Llanelli's hospital. The list goes on and on. They are not the Royal family of Wales, so why the hell do we worship them like Gods. C'mon, people of Wales, make a stand, speak out. As for Grav; I am proud to have known one of the greatest Welshmen to have lived.

i had hoped that we had grown up a little and no longer needed to be doffing our hat at posh englishmen in order to be happy, but not so. ray gravel was a welsh role model, prince bloody william is a rabid english supporter who spends most of his time falling out of night clubs drunk and skiing and using our country as some sort of surname. we are a disgrace.

Ray Gravell is one of the greatest Welshmen of all time, never mind one of the greatest rugby players. He was the ultimate Welshman - he had passion, pride and was a gentle giant. The cup could be called the Prince William Cup in future. Now it's time to call it Cwpan Ray Gravell in honour of a great Welshman, the likes of which we will probably never see again. Cymru a Grav am byth!
