peter jackson says wales have never lost a grand slam match in cardiff, where we were going for the slam, but I suspect we did once...see if you rugby brainiacs can remember which one without google?

France when SQ was playing ? I think Betsen knocked SQ back in a tackle right on the French line, but I can't remember what year it was.

Got it !!!!
1988, France lost to Scotland but France beat Wales 10-9 in the final match of the tournament. both were crowned Champions, but Wales won a Triple Crown.

I think a lot will depend on whether Sanjay is fit, in which case, the obvious thing to do would be play him on North's wing and have Halfpenny at 15. That way we can attack them with high balls (although Biggar could more accurately supply them) and also defend when they try the same on us. Is Samson injured or dropped?

Looks like Tadhg Bernie is set to make his first 6N start against Wales on Sat.
Very bittersweet!

wales won 3 slams away 2 in france 1 in ireland
The best way to attack ireland is in the threequarters imo Up front theyre pretty immense. we need parity at scrum time, we need serious lineout improvements..The key is to be in the refs head before the game, pointing to the cynical irish tacttics around breakdown.....breakdown we need to edge them, we have great pace in the back row. Stander is another billy v, a handful but he will tire late on...They tend to drive a long way past rucks and they keep their hands on tackled players, players need to really make a song and dance about this to the referee....Theyve got the edge at fly half, though anscombe has shown signs of improvement. But cawdor and tips can harass sexton who often cracks on the back foot...Time for cawdor to snipe more too, hes controlled well but time to use his blistering pace. Backs... north ran all over earls last time, stockdale is very iffy in defence too, foxy and parkes are starting to go through the gears...I think kearney is out..larmour has only 8 caps,,hes only 21 barely played for leinster ...winger/full back.we just need sanjay to come through his contact sessions and our back line is ready....otherwise we have a great replacement in hapenny....Also hope tomos williams is fit for bench.

Their best players are probably the 2 props , theyre big lads but mobile too....ryan is a bit long in the tooth perhaps, stander the main carrier, omahoney is a lineout breakdown guy....didnt realise they were as big as that french pack...are you sure about that?
