Thank you Leon. I used capitals to get my point across. A very disappointed Wales supporter the past few years. I was in awe and still am when the crowd sings the Welsh anthem. I got my first taste of Welsh rugby support in the mid 60’s at Cardiff Arms Park, Wales v England. Then Wales had a team that was everything I wish the Springboks could be now. I come from a rugby background, my late Dad played for Western Province before the 2nd WW.. I was a promising rugby player in the early 60’s, a back injury put paid to a sporting life then. Today 6 months in rehab I would have been OK, It was not to be. I became a rugby supporter. I lived in the UK for nearly 20 years, saw as many live internationals as time and money would allow. Wales after the ‘Boks is MY team. I meant every word I wrote in my first post. Let me hope that MY team will win the day 2016.

Whereas C++tbutt REALLY deserves another 2nd or is it 3rd or is it 4th chance or 5th chance to again cost Wales victory in another crucial match.

And as for that bungling bungalow ‘sprinter boy’ he’ll probably…..

1: Get himself sent off as per the Euro game v Glous a few years back.

2: Give away an interception try as he attempts to make up for his dreadful positional play.

3: Drop the ball 3 times with the line at his mercy as per the 2010 6n game v England.

And that’s without the automatic ‘Gatland’s Law’ choices of

4: A loose head that every referee knows cannot function in the scrum and always turns in and down.

5: An open side with an ankle injury who hasn’t played for months but is as ever on the team sheet before everyone else.

Lets just hope Sexton has an off-day because it Gatland picks too many of the above in the 23, let alone the starting 15 Wales are in for a long afternoon in Dublin.

I wouldn’t have Eli Walker anywhere near the Wales squad – I think he is now firmly in the never-gonna-be category. Had a few chances, cruelly hit by injury, but just doesn’t have the extra 3% needed to make the step up.
