Wigan coach Stuart Rapermight well be viewed as yet another Aussie coach in England, and the son of former Aussie skipper Johnny Raper. Butpeople in Wales know differently. Stuart's mum is from Pontardawe, and his grandfather was the Swansea boxer Ronnie James ­ the British lightweight champion in the 1940s and a world title challenger in 1946. Looks like Wales is claiming Stuart Raper.

Gav, I knew Mrs Raper was Welsh.
Now that's something I can relate to. :)
I suppose Stuart's been there for a while now so I guess it's fair enough for Wales to claim the successful coach.
But talking hypothetically, if Stuart Raper was mass murderer or something, would the Welsh still claim him? :)
