Shingler's speed around the park is sorely missed. Foxy back for the Euro's will shore up our defence and our ttackingoptions.

Quite so - Foxy has pace and power, plus excellent judgement in defence - so I'd expect us to be a lot more solid when he's back so that 1/2p won't have so much ground to cover.
As for Cawdor - he gets flak for his kicking game, but maybe people don't realise how much work he does disrupting the opposition with his blitz plays in defence. Plus, of course, the other team must always beware of the possibility of his interceptions...

The Ospreys defence was excellent.
We found it incredibly difficult to break them down. Their tries came a little too easily for my liking. |
i think that may have something to do with their part-time Wales coach Shaun Edwards

If only our kicks had gone over. After all we outscored the Scarlets three tries to two. That is what the Spreys are saying.

Tom Prydie will be a big loss against racing. He has improved with
every outing and is now a very reliable 'back' three. Very good under
the high ball and quite aggressive on defence and attack. I personally would not be surprised to see him recalled to the Wales squad if his injury is not too serious.

It truly doesn't matter, leave them in their own little feathery world. At the end of the day we won, and should of won by a lot more. If Nige No Cards had gone to his pocket when he should we would of run riot. As it was we had them buy the gonads from 35 minutes onwards and were beginning to squeeze, it was only the ref and them giving away penalties as a defence that saved them what could of been quite an embarrassing score line at the end of the day.
They are a mediocre team with mediocre ambitions typified by them sending lambs to the slaughter in Munster (i'd be disgusted if we ever did that). If they want to believe that the ref lost them that game, brilliant because it masks over how poor they really were from 35 minutes onwards and all this hohar about AWJ and Tips, well we won that game up front, we comprehensively out muscled them.

You realise that we had semi final of europe the following week, judgement day the week after then our home 1/4 final? it was more of less a dud game. Thats not sending the lambs to slaughter

Precisely, we didn't not send our first team because we didn't think we had a chance of winning, we sent our second team because we had bigger fish to fry. We were already guaranteed a play off place.

Ha brilliant, I made the same analogy as I was reading it back but then didn't not have the will or inclination to change it!
