    Really like both of these, can we have them both and kick Connacht out?

    If not then I'll vote Wales. Not Isle of Man's fault, but seeing that Sicilly flag yesterday sorta put me off the three legged motif.

    We have our Final Four now folks and the Random Number Generator is charging up. It's between England, Ireland and Wales to take the title home. Tomorrow night we will be running both semi finals and then the Grand Finale straight afterwards. Hoping to kick off at around 8PM and would love to see everyone back to cast a vote.

    Whatever about the Isle of Man losing to Wales, that's grand, bit jesus Connacht should not be in the final 4.. there has been bucket loads of bias towards them.

    It's probably my least favourite actually. I'd go:

    Ulster
    Munster
    Leinster
    Connacht

    (I'm from Leinster, btw, so not being biased here)

    I love the way the result is pretty much already known so everyone is being bitchy about other semi finalists :P

    Also, Isles of Scilly flag is a masterpiece, shame on y'all.

    Ok, get serious time now!
    Much as I enjoy the crazy floating goats, I'll have to go with Wales for this one, it's a good strong flag with a great dragon.

    Wales is definitely iconic, but I see more detail on that Merionethshire flag the more I look at it. Look at their little horns being swept back by the solar wind. It's just mental. Gets my vote.

    That's a fearsome dragon - he'd frighten the bejaysus out of the little kids.....
    Now I like the symbolism behind them but most of these English flags are johnny come lately's so that s a major negative.
    Even though I dislike the fact that the green and white represents the former rulers of England - the Tudors. (Omackeral stop inviting me to these tournaments, do you have any idea how many wikipedia rabbit holes you've sent me down?)
    ... I'm going for Wales and the dragon

    Merionethshire

    Voted for this the whole way through, its like something out of a Sci fi movie where the goats, with shocked expressions, are being sucked through the air into a giant flaming ball of doom.

    BRILLIANT!

    Merionethshire - a boring, generic dragon can't compare to a herd of deranged, sun-worshipping goats.

    Choosing between Wales and Wales is such a dose. Can't they both lose?

    Merionethshire just because I hate that dragon.

    Nottingham is pretty flag.

    Connachts flag on the other hand is powerful and historic - over 500 years of use.
    representing the west, defiant, glorious.
    Azure blue is the most beautiful colour on a flag and the white compliments it gloriously.
    A fearsome eagle to boot representing the anglo-irish class unifying with the Arm representing the olde Irish.
    I know I'm a proud Connacht man, but damn. That's a cracking flag.
    Connacht abú

    Nottinghamshire - 1) it's got Robin Hood on it; and 2) the Connacht flag is sh*t and I'm mystified as to how it's got this far.

    Nottinghamshire is the best Flag in the competition, the colours are great and the Robin Hood in the middle is an amazing touch.

    Connacht bias will see it through again though

    Nottinghamshire is a good idea poorly implemented.

    So for me, Connacht.

    Connacht. Each half is cool in its own right and while the binary nature of it can be off-putting, it's also very unique.

    And the other one looks like it should be on a can of peas.

    Nottinghamshire, because it has Robin Hood and because I'm baffled as to what Connacht is doing at this stage of the tournament.
