Wales Team v England

After the last thrashing against  England in Cardiff  , I vowed I wouldn't  watch Wales again for the foreseeable future . Don't  mind losing but humiliation  is another matter.  Some people ( surely not real Welsh rugby fans) chained to their  bloody  keyboards, seem to revel in the grotesque  spectacle of an appalling  Welsh team. Not me,  saddens me immensely. 

I agree withnour sage, Will Chips, however, that the team selected will put up,a reasonable  fight and cling on tona modicum of respectability. 

Let's hope 

There are players there selected which indicate Sherratts influence on Tandy.

Mann, Adams, Thomas and Beecher..stand out.

Cracknell, holding his own at Leicester is a bizarre omission. He should be at 8 and Wainwright  at 6. Ryan Elias has proved beyond doubt that  he is back to his best. Scarlets  scrummaging is always better when he is present. His line out throwing is much improved,  and far better than  Lake.

On the plus side Inam happy for Ellis abd Eddie , wish them well. 

What really pleased me though is  Josh McLoud's inclusion.

Not long ago, he suffered a near career ending injury.

I know from my daughters experience,  what that level of injury  can do to your body  and the subsequent  mental anguish  that follows.

Mc Loud is a warrior and I just think sometimes you get what you deserve

 ( not always), but Josh has worked so hard and is slowly  developing his leadership  skills. 

My main worry  however is with the Scarlets  squad being so thin,  WE CANNOT AFFORD INJURIES FROM 6N. This always happens in a contact sport understandably, but for Scarlets lose key players would  be a hammer blow.

At least we are not exposing  Ryan Elias, Jake Ball or Sam Costelow  ATM.

I still  have nightmare's about Samson Lee 's injury  ,playing for Wales.  Never the same player afterwards . 

Foxy suffered a similar serious injury, playing in WC, and he was never the same thereafter 

Lake will be crap in the line out.

Archie Griffin has started 2 games all season and is 4th choice at Bath.

Adam beard will bumble about doing nothing apart from being tall and big. Hopefully he can raise his carries to 2 per game.

Dan Edward’s will be like a small child defensively.

As will Ben Thomas who will be tore apart by Dingwall.

Belcher will find out he is not International standard. 

We are going to get hammered what was the record defeat to England I fear this will be an absolute battering in the first half and when they bring the bench on Bomb squad style even worse.
