I think it's something that happened in the moment, with all the squad together geeing each other up.
Someone mentioned that it's not like the rivalry between City and County - but it's exactly like that. Think of us in the 90s, for the first time in living memory, able to compete in the same league as City.
Wales were competing for the first time in decades, at a major tournament alongside England. When England lost, it meant that they had progressed further then England. That was a real achievement, especially for the players in the video, the pinnacle of their international careers.
I get the thing about the English-born players, but again I think they were just getting caught up in the moment. For those who are offended, probably safest to assume that Ash wasn't in the room, as we don't see him in the video. It's quite possible that he felt uncomfortable watching with the rest of the squad. But we'll never know anyway.
