My only thought would be that many of the barbs used in the comments are the manifestation of racism.

I agree with you, slodrive - I generally assume the same thing. But note that I say "assume."

To condemn loud-mouth critics of the Six Nations as racists because they sound like redneck hicks to us - we, the urban, urbane and understanding tolerant class - is to engage in a very similar sort of stereotyping. Just like the loud-mouth so-called racist, we get to feel smug and superior without the bother of understanding what lies at the root of the objectionable behaviour.
