Jesus somebody there seriously doesn't want is to have a good world cup.
halfpenny, Rhys Webb now Corey Allen, Liam Williams is crocked aswell but is still in the squad.
And still no James Hook called up. They instead opt for an inexperienced player.
Is Gatland.taking advice from Louis by any chance. Some of his decisions lately have been bizarre to say the least.

As an Irishman it pains me how badly this ref is screwing Japan Feel sorry for them a bit, after the game last week its as if people expected Japan to win today. The expectation surrounding British media is truly awful. Felt they did well and the scoreline was a tad flattering towards Scotland although they were good for the win so wont take anything from there for that. Love these small minnows that come with nothing to lose and show more passion and flair than half the bigger side that are "expected to win". |

We both sat down and watched it and I was a bit gob smacked when Scotland run in 5 tries. Then I found out after that the Japanese BR Forward, Mafi was stretchered off. That guy was a colossus against the Springboks and I think they did miss him. At least Scotland won..cough, cough lol. |

25 September 2015 Last updated at 06:38 Rugby World Cup 2015: What England v Wales means to us
World Cup Pool A: England v Wales
Venue: Twickenham, London. Date: Saturday, 26 September. Kick-off: 20:00 BST. Coverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 live, BBC Radio Wales & BBC Radio Cymru, plus live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app. It is the biggest match of the Rugby World Cup so far: two ancient enemies, two neighbours united by both border and historic rivalry, coming together in a group in which only the strongest can survive.
What will it mean to the two nations - to those lucky enough to have tickets, to the parents of the players, for youngsters being allowed to stay up late and to those of more grizzled vintage watching in boozy clubhouses? Neither side will want to slip up - knowing only two qualify from Pool A which also includes Australia. Different stories, different lives, different backgrounds. All brought together by one match. And the expectation, and nerves, and tension… The proud parent: Dave North, father of Wales winger George
There are two facets to watching George as a parent: there's me, high on adrenaline, and there's his mother Jan, high on fear. The pure adrenaline kicks in for me at 6am. I don't need a drink. It still feels amazing to me, even now he's 23 and with 51 caps. The joy is still fresh. Every game he runs out you can't believe it's happening. I remember going to Twickenham with George when he was nine to watch the Heineken Cup final. During the match he decided he wanted to learn to whistle properly, with two fingers in his mouth, so he could get involved. To my great regret I taught him. It was all I heard all the way back home to Anglesey. Going to Twickenham can feel like going to the Stade de France. It's out of town, a train or metro ride away. It can be sterile, whereas the Millennium Stadium - well, the memory of that night in 2013 when we took England's championship and Six Nations title is electric. And after the Grand Slam win in 2012, we walked back from the players' hotel at 5am and it was still going strong on the streets of Cardiff. Saturday night is all about expectation for me. For Wales, this is our cup final. If we get this right, it's onwards and upwards. I saw George and the boys last weekend, and all the talk was about this match. They have it in them to win this week but whatever happens, we'll all walk away from it. It's not like football - somebody will be upset, but we'll all get on afterwards. The east side of the border: Lydney RFC team liaison officer Colin HendersonWith our proximity to the border, in the old days when Wales was a dry country on Sundays we used to get busloads of them turning up in Lydney. They would run off with our women and then we would run after them and a few fights would ensue. But that's all changed now. The local banter has always been there. Before the inception of leagues we used to play Welsh clubs on Wednesday nights, and it was always hard but fair. The hospitality was fantastic. We'll have 150 people down on Saturday night, with the big screen up in the clubhouse. Beer and cider and lager, pasties and chips. Like most clubs we'll have a happy hour early in the evening and then maybe another at 10pm, depending on what's happened at Twickenham. It'll be a hell of an atmosphere. 8pm and alcohol are not the ideal partners, but the one certainty with rugby crowds is that it doesn't lead to anything silly. There'll be Welshmen there on Saturday night. There's always Welshmen there. At least, they're Welsh when they're winning. It's going to be huge. England v Wales - last 10 meetings

I will call you that smudge if you don't mind, just that it goes back to my army days. We had so many Smith's in or regiment that we would just call them smudge's. Back on topic. I can remember many moons ago in Scotland when Wales were playing Scotland at Murrayfield. The greats of Welsh rugby like Gareth Edwards (one of my idols and still is) etc were playing then. I was staying in Dalkeith in Scotland at the time and all the tickets were sold out so we all (family) went too the local miners club too watch the match. There were a lot of taffs there also that could not get a ticket. The landlord at the time then locked the lounge bar doors and we all sat down together and watched the match. Scotland got thumped by Wales with Edwards and co. But it was a great occasion. No fights, the beer and whatnot was flowing in abundance. We were all singing and getting pissed as newts. Them taffy supporters were getting up and buying all the rounds, loved it lol. So we all got up and bought them a good old Scottish whisky too boot. Nostalgic memories for me and a fucking stinking hangover in the morning. |
