Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 The Welsh team. Wales: Leigh Halfpenny (Blues); Alex Cuthbert (Blues), Jonathan Davies (Scarlets), Jamie Roberts (Racing Metro), George North (Northampton); Rhys Priestland (Scarlets), Rhys Webb (Ospreys); Gethin Jenkins (Blues), Richard Hibbard (Ospreys), Adam Jones (Ospreys), Luke Charteris (Perpignan), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Dan Lydiate (Racing Metro), Sam Warburton (Blues, capt), Taulupe Faletau (Dragons). Replacements: Ken Owens (Scarlets), Paul James (Bath Rugby), Rhodri Jones (Scarlets), Jake Ball (Scarlets), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Mike Phillips (Racing Metro), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Liam Williams (Scarlets). As thought no big surprises there, should one of the centres get injured, North could cover 13 and Sanjay onto the wing. we also have a couple of impact players in Ball and Tips to come on in the second half.

The French game was the first time in a while we've mixed it up in the lineout and it worked, we took several balls off the top at the back and created quick ball, against the Irish it didn't matter what we did as we didn't turn up. Sundays game will imo be a proper arm wrestle of a game and will be won by whoever makes the less mistakes, lots of good match ups all over the field and in a game against England I can't for one minute seeing us not turning up. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have a feeling that the team just thought they had to turn up to win against the Italians and the Irish, stupid really seeing as how the Irish went against the All Blacks. There will be no such complacency against England thats for sure, they will have to be on top of their game to beat them at HQ. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they started banning us for swearing at the screen here in Wales the pubs would be empty by half time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
