Well, that's my second point. If one of our English fellow ref were to have an exchange program in Wales and a player would swear in Welsh, no one would know what he actually says.

Does anyone in Wales actually speak Welsh?

I would just shrug my shoulders and say, "sorry all I heard was something about sheep" smile and play on.
 
Indeed they do. However, there are no real "swear words" in the language. So pretty much all the swearing will be in English. I think swearing is usually refereed to as "Anglo Saxon.:wales:
 
Swearing at me only offends me IF i recognise it as such, so any player that is capable of swearing in a language not recognised likely gets away with it only because my ignorance is my bliss....

Any team with Uri Wain-Kerr playing at fly half might get the benefit of doubt ! :wink:
