I'll be sneaking round to my Brother-in-laws house, and dropping off something Welsh onto his doorstep.
Wonder if I can get cawl in a tin?

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

Agreed, although given Mr Jones Scarlets roots a place in Oz is likely.
The All Blacks will romp home with this. They travel well, they play at a pace 2-3 times faster than the Northern half. France and possibly Ireland may put up a good show, but neither can honestly think they can beat them.
Wales will be lucky to get through the group stages.
Have you also noticed how grey Gareth Jenkins hair is getting, I think the stress is starting to show.

Two seasons ago we won the Grandslam, and came within a point of New Zealand, or was that the year before?
Where the heck did it go all wrong this season?
Surely not Gareth Jenkins?
