Former England prop David Flatman sparked a Twitter debate over the behaviour of Welsh fans following Saturday’s World Cup final.

Flatman Tweeted that he was disappointed at the ‘childish vitriol’ of Welsh fans following England’s defeat to South Africa.

The ex-Bath player spoke on behalf of England fans saying that they “love Gats, AWJ and co” but seemed dejected that the support wasn’t mutual.

Off course this statement received some backlash from both Welsh and English fans.
