The Wales team for Sunday is:
Shit
Genuinely the weakest Wales side I've seen for about two decades. Injuries playing a part but cupboard is also very bare atm. The bench is beyond awful. If you're not 15 plus points up by 60 minutes you will be soon afterwards.LOL!!! Oh it's not that bad, and you're only playing the Wonky Wooblies, on a Saturday, so maybe the Sunday side is a bit . . .. !!
Paul Rees of the Guardian thinks "Wales are ripping up a midfield system that has proved successful, in Europe anyway, for one that gives them an extra playmaking option at inside-centre because individual initiative is now counting for something" do you agree?Genuinely the weakest Wales side I've seen for about two decades.

Bloody hell! Who knows? I'm sure Gatland has seen how successfully other sides are deploying playmakers rather than bosh merchants at 12 and he himself did the same on the last Lions' tour with a degree of success. He can't have been blind to the fact that we rarely get our speed merchants hitting the ball at pace, nor that the ball usually dies once it gets to 12.Paul Rees of the Guardian thinks "Wales are ripping up a midfield system that has proved successful, in Europe anyway, for one that gives them an extra playmaking option at inside-centre because individual initiative is now counting for something" do you agree?
An Ireland World Cup would have been fucking brilliant. What a shame. Is the organisation behind it as corrupt as fifa?
The one part of me that is disappointed is that with the use of GAA stadia, we would have seen more standing on terraces and if our bid was to be believed cheaper tickets. I was in France for the 2007 tournament and it was great, so I'll probably head there for 2023.
Actually, we this is what we deserve, after all we voted for NZ 2011 instead of one of the competitors, which would have grown the game.
Given the various Unions have voted with their wallets I can't see the tickets in France being particularly cheap.
