IRISH bookmakers Paddy Power have unveiled a giant wall in Cardiff which urges rugby fans to post anti-England messages during the World Cup.
Titled ‘The World Is In Union Against England’, the wall was largely blank with the words ‘leave your message for England here, and we’ll mail it to Twickenham on a chariot’.
Since being revealed on Saturday, the wall has been filled by rugby fans from all over the world, with Cardiff being one of the main cities to host the event.
According to social media, the bookmakers’ latest publicity stunt has been taken in good humour by England supporters, who have even contributed to the messages themselves.
