Oh yes way too old!!!!! Smile
 
I wouldnt mind him here for a year but i agree with TF he may want to help Bristol out.
 
We could do with his type.
 
why dont we do a swap with a southern hemesphire team. Im sure a summer down under would do a world of good for somone like Dan Evans for example.

Can he lead a choir though like LLANDRE
In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

"All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us"

He must come from the hilly part of Bristol then round Clifton way as its quite clear you both had hard paper rounds!!
That being said nowhere near as hard as Dai Lyons by the look of him.
Forget about Simon Shaw even if it was a possibility I forgot he had made the England squad 45!!

 These are three hugely talented boys,I would look to bring to the Scarlets for next season if available .
 
  Firstly McCauley Cook a future welsh international lock if I ever saw one,a couple of seasons down the line he will be pushing alun Wyn and Bradley for the lock position a great athlete and all round forward .
 
  Secondly Luke Hamilton been very impressive at the under 20s world cup,can play across the back row ,with the possibility of Josh and Gog away plus lyons gone we are going to be very light in numbers in the back row .Why Hamilton and Siggery were allowed to leave the region is a mystery .
 
  I would also look to bring in Thomas Young a great openside prospect,with Warburton,Martyn and Navidi ahead of him at the Blues,and his dad possibly joined Wasps would certainly be worth  looking at bringing him to the Scarlets .
 
   These three players would greatly strengthen our young squad,which will be formidable in two years time .


i agree mate but those players are already in other regions academies and probably under contract, and they may not want to leave a team that they've grown up in, or developed in, or maybe support.

Must have contained a heavy supplement you poor lad. You must have used your singing to help you carry the heavy tiresome load. Every cloud has a silver lining!!

After the performance against Fiji today, I don't know how anyone can say these 3 forwards are outstanding prospects. We always seems to make them out to be better than they are and put these players on a pedestal. It only happens in Wales !

It just seems to me that through out the structure of Welsh rugby not just now but going back 30 odd years we as a nation cannot produce in quantity quality front five forwards. As a result the norm is that we cannot consistantly match the physicality of alot of sides especially from the SH. We either have technical skillful forwards who just get battered in the trenches or the lumps we have tried to use just aint good enough. Why is this? The decline of industry where the men working were naturally strong. It has not bothered othe countries!!  Wacko

In fact we are no better off in analysing the reasons for our defeat after reading Andy Bowell in today's Eastern Mule. Anyone with the scoreline and scores in front of them could have filed his account. And believe it or not he had the cheek to to say that some of the "excuse-mongers trotted out all manner of excuses, one of them factually incorrect following the 92-0 rolling over against New Zealand" Not like your accounts at all then Andy in that there was only one incorrect "fact" 

No mention also made of the fact that all the try scorers went through the Scarlets Academy and not his beloved Galacticos or Blues.

I agree with you but there is no depth at all. There have been individuals over the years that have been class but always very little to back them in the evnt of injuries.
I know they are a world apart but take into account the number of SA players that come to Europe to play and yet they still have depth in their forwards when the big guns are out.

You say that like he has good things to say about the Ospreys?
 
The man is a wart on the arse of Welsh rugby. How he has a job reporting for the National paper of Wales is beyond me! The sooner they see him for the forum trawling wan**r he is, the better for Welsh rugby.
