The Six Nations is back, so time for lots of rugby threads again.:D

These players are in the Wales squad, and they are half-Welsh half-English mixes. Do they look more one or the other to you?

And what's the diference between the English and Welsh when it comes to phenotypes?

I always thought that they looked more or less the same, just with latter having more med types...

More Atlantids among the Welsh, more KNs and Faelids among the English.

Welsh seems dominant, only saying that though because they are more CM on average, though most easily pass in England i think Jake Ball, Dan Lydgate and Tomas Francis dominate more their Welsh side.

As an aside, there is something more than a little droll about how excited many Welsh people get about beating England, given how Wales is probably the most English-admixed nation in the world anywhere except maybe Australia.

James Botham (grandson of England cricket player Ian) is now part of the squad:

They can pass in both but Thomas Francis and George North look super Welsh to me

How so?

George North looks rather Atlantid or Atlanto-Med, common Welsh type if you know what I mean. Thomas Francis, I mean he looks rather basic, I could see him being English as well lol.

Lydiate, Francis and Rowlands look like Welsh farmers, I think Lydiate is from a farming background as well.

George North is an Atlantid Welsh type, typifies it imo, even though he is half English

Nick Tompkins reminds me an awful lot of Welsh actor Iwan Rheon, with different pigmentation.
