Rugby autumn internationals

I think the same. Wales will play better against the AB they allways do, but I think the outcome will be the same as the last 58 years. But if they do win its free drinks for everyone around my house. Posting on facebook later  ,im not expecting a crowd. [/QUOTE]

i sincerely hope Wales do win as it will lift NH rugby up no end .I am fed with up with the NH  playing second fiddle to the SH  sides.Time to front up

Great line on Scrum V from Jed Thian (I recorded it but didn't watch till yesterday)...

"A Wales win over New Zealand is like the Loch Ness Monster - never been seen in colour!" Depressing, but funny!

Yes I thought funny as well. I did think GT was out of order  slagging off the players. But there you go. Its not like he did anything wrong .
It will be closer than you think. Wales to win.

I think Alfie's enjoying the celeb lifestyle at the moment, and signing copies of his shiny new fitness DVD!!

I think he did his bit for Wales, and Cardiff, but he definitely didn't come out of "Ruddock-gate" with any glory

I really wouldn't be surprised if Wales get it together - I can't see them winning, but I don't think it'll be the disaster many are expecting.

If they win, I can be down the M4 at yours by about 8.30 for the party...

I hope they've got the roof closed and Jiffy's got his voice back.

George North is out of the game. Liam Williams is taking his place. Williams has been on fire for the Scarlets this year, but will they play him at full back and put Halfpenny on the wing. He does run some beautiful lines from full back and could work well with Jonathan Davies, if picked at full back.

If the roofs been open it will be a swimming pool. Then if they close it it will be a sauna. Either way its gonna be hot and sweaty and if JD got his voice  back its gonna be noisy ,especially in the higher octaves. Shame George is out. What I cant understand  is why Halfpenny is not replacing him on the wing  and Hook or Byrne at full back. Liam has the big chance but not the right call for this game.

I'm looking forward to the game. There is no way on earth that Wales are going to beat the All Blacks. I just love watching the ABs if only for their ruthlessness.

BT Bob

I see big George is out

And the tease that Carter "might" be out has come to nought as he's still named in the team.....

I don't mind if we get beaten as long as we play with some hwyl & flair, like we know we can.

BT Bob

Woohoo! I spoke too soon.....

Carter's out (although I hope he's better by Sunday )
