"Welsh Priest and a Genii" joke

Once upon a time, there was a welsh priest. and he was building a new church, and one day he was out in what was going to be the graveyard tidying up leaves and other rubbish, and he picked up this coke bottle that was lying on the ground in front of him. and as he picked it up, out popped this genii. and the genii said he could grant the priest one wish.

so the priest said "well look, I'm building this new church, and i want it to be a brilliant church, alive, with a large congregation and so on, could you do that for me?"

and the genii thought a little and then replied, "well I'm only a trainee genii, and thats rather a big wish, influencing religion, interfering with higher powers etc, so is there anything else you'd like, instead."

and the priest thought a bit and then said "I'm welsh, as you can tell from my accent, and like so many welshmen I'm a big rugby fan. and as you may know the welsh rugby team haven't done really well for a long time, and I'd really like it if you could arrange for them to win something triple crown, 6 nations or something."

and the genii looked at him, and then said "right, can we go back to the first wish".
