Re: Rugby Union

Right let's get a reality check for all the Welsh people who think we are going to win the world cup after today's result WRONG!!!!!! Osem's assessment is about right

We played an average England side and if Harry Ellis had stayed on we would have been looking at a whitewash. Stephen Jones must now be looking at playing for Llanelli and can forget a trip to Oz in May and will now be going to the World Cup as understudy to Hook. Problem is in Wales we have a bad season and it's always down to the England game

There is immense promise in this side but the WRU allowed the best coach in Wales to go (he's now coaching Mumbles seconds) for reasons we will never know. Get him back and we will then have a half decent side but nothing that can compete with anything NZ can produce. I watch Super 14s every week and the difference is huge Canterbury are basically a shadow NZ side. the rugby is nothing like we see English Premier or Magners or Heineken cup

Best thing about today was the forwards (Ryan Jones especially) fronted up for the first time
