IT is interesting to hear that a Welsh rugby star has seen a ghost in the room he was staying in at a hotel in Surrey, after their win over England at Twickenham.

Dan Lydiate has even stated that it was probably the ghost of Henry VIII that was stood near his bed in the aptly named Tudor wing at the Oatlands Park Hotel.

I know how much it means for the people of the valleys for Wales to beat England at rugby, I have been reading a lot of interesting statuses on social media, but to get a visit from King Henry must have been quite startling. It was probably due to England’s unearthly performances in the Rugby World Cup.

Keep on haunting the Welsh lads please, Henry.

I’ve had a little flutter on South Africa to win the competition, after we were beaten by the Aussies, so I could do with them having a few more sleepless nights as the tournament progresses, if you don’t mind.
