Oh dear, seem to have rattled a few cages....

JW is a good player, and I hope he does get over his injury problems. It seems he's got the same problem Ieuan Evans had, where he seemed to pick up one injury after another.

There was a quote last night (monday) on the Welsh national news - that it seems SCW is stuck in a time warp, and that rugby has moved on since 2003. BUT - he did say that he could be playing mind games and not showing NZ the Lions true playing style untill the Tests. Lets hope so.

Just to upset people again, have a look at the attached file

Rob,
No cages rattled. Too happy at Australia being whacked in the twenty20 anyhow.

With regard to your picture, Wales have precisely two hopes of winning the next world cup.

The picture is a poster done by Brains brewery (the official sponsors), theres a massive one in Cardiff city centre.

I also enjoyed the 20twenty. Great to see the Aussies squirming.

Rob

I've seen it. Was in Cardiff to see the Wales- Saffie match last year.

Somewhat optimistic I fear.

Its the old Rourkes Drift mentality I'm affraid.

As long its not France who wins - I'll be happy(ish)


Rob

Well they won - havent seen the match - how did they play?

Well done to the 2 Welsh boys on scoring a try each.

I did read that the crowd where booing the Lions tactics at the start - is this true?

Further judgment when I see the match this pm

Rob

Yea the crowd booed when the Lions kicked for goal instead of going for a try. It was a good match though. Gethin's try was quality. Peel made a quality break to Corry and Corry passed to Gethin who then sprinted to the line. Isn't it funny how props always look confused when they score tries. I guess they don't know what to do

As a ex-prop - it is very confusing to have a scoring opertunity.

Normally only on the field for squishing the opposition into the ground.

As an aside, do you think Charlotte Church kn*ckard out Gavin Henson on the weekend?

Rob

I dont understand you. Can you explain clearly what you mean by knackered out? I don't think I fully understand you

Yea I'm getting up bright and early to go to my mate's house to watch the match tomorrow. It will be good I think.

If France won the World Cup I would be extremely annoyed. I hate Dominici. The only French players I like are:
Rougerie
Yachvilli
Michelak

Well, well -2 Welsh boys score again...

Yea, Rhys Jones was quality.

This is my test 15 for next Saturday.

1. Gethin Jenkins
2. Shane Byrne
3. Julian White
4. Paul O'Connell
5. Danny Grewcock
6. Richard Hill
7. Neil Back
8. Rhys Jones
9. Dwayne Peel
10. Jonny Wilkinson
11. Jason Robinson
12. Will Greenwood
13. Brian O'Driscoll (c)
14. Shane Horgan
15. Josh Lewsey

On the bench probably:

16. Graham Rowntree
17. Steve Thompson
18. Ben Kay
19. Martin Corry
20. Matt Dawson
21. Charlie Hodgson
22. Gavin Henson

I know you will probably moan about Henson beng on the bench but look at the facts:
Henson hasn't scored many tries this season.
He hasn't gelled with O'Driscoll.
He just hasn't played to his full potential.

Martin Williams hasn't performed well. I hope that's who Clive puts up against the All Blacks. Unless he does the funny strategy with Jones at 10 and Wilko at 12.

Hmmm Sir Clive what are you playing at??

It seems to me that he is only sticking to some of the English guys due to 'old boys' syndrome.

10mins to Kick off, lets hope the '2nd' team put in a good performance.

Two tries for Henson today? 100% tackle rate? Hope Sir Clive takes notice - but I know what you mean, its just needed a visit from Miss Church to pump him up

Rob

Not sure that Gav the Chav has done hinself any favours by whinging about not being selected. Clive doesn't like that sort of thing.

BTW Rob do you post on any rugby sites?
