WARREN GATLAND HAS MADE HIS DECISION

HERE IS THE WALES SQUAD TO FACE SCOTLAND ON SATURDAY-

THE CHANGES:
1. The enforced replacement at the number 15 position (full-back) of our injured LEIGH HALFPENNY :-( :-( who suffered a dislocated shoulder in the last game.
He is replaced by LIAM WILLIAMS. Liam, will not be doing the kicking for Wales, however. The kicking duties will return to the number 10 (Fly Half)

2. Fly Half position (number 10) now goes to my preferred choice- DAN BIGGAR :-)
RHYS PRIESTLAND is now on the replacements bench.

3. Our MIKE PHILLIPS has been returned to number 9 shirt (Scrum-Half) YEY! :-)
Rhys Webb who had taken his place is injured.
MIKE WILL NEED TO KEEP THAT SHORT FUSE DEFUSED :-D

RHODRI WILLIAMS is his replacement on the bench.
Watch out for Rhodri Williams. He played an amazing game in the Under 20s Wales squad.

4. SHOCK- ADAM JONES (no 3- Tight-Head Prop) is relegated to the bench also. His position has now gone to RHODRI JONES

5. KEN OWENS has taken number 2 (Hooker) position from RICHARD HIBBARD who is now also on the bench.

6. LUKE CHARTERIS is back at second row (number 4) having recovered from his injury. JAKE BALL who stood in for him is now on the subs bench.

Fantastic job, Jem :-D :-D

Have written to Genes and asked if your fee could be increased for reports next year. Not had a reply yet. In fact, if anyone has ever got a reply from Genes perhaps they could post that fact and we can all marvel at it :-D :-D ;-)

Hi John :-) :-)

Yes Likewise!

I've been torn between wanting Ireland to win their matches, but also, not wanting them to have the advantage over Wales.

Now Wales are out of the running, my support will go to Ireland. :-)

HOPING WALES WILL WIN THEIR LAST GAME!:-) :-)

It's going to be a long afternoon on Saturday- but an enjoyable one! :-D :-D

I am confident we will finish above Italy this year. Feeling very positive about that.

Rooting for Ireland now - who have been best side by miles imho. :-D :-D

Just got in from my shift in Penrhiwceiber pit. Missed it all. Someone told me that Leigh got all 18 points from miles out and rest of boys made very elementary mistakes.

All VERY depressing. But Hymns and Arias has lifted me a lot and have been singing away. Thanks Jem. It is not your fault. Or Shaun's :-) ;-) You did your best.

Jem you beat me to it.

Six Nations 2014: Halfpenny out for the season with shoulder injury

Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny is out for the season with a dislocated shoulder and scrum half Rhys Webb is an injury doubt for the Scotland match.
Halfpenny injured his right shoulder tackling Luther Burrell in the 29-18 defeat by England at Twickenham, while Webb limped off with an ankle injury.
"Leigh has dislocated his shoulder and that is him gone for the rest of the season, "said coach Warren Gatland.
Victory saw England lift the Triple Crown for the first time since 2003.
"We are not sure about Rhys yet, but it's Leigh's season over anyway."
Wales' hopes of an unprecedented third successive Six Nations title ended in London.
Scarlets full-back Liam Williams, who replaced Halfpenny at Twickenham, would appear to be in pole position to replace the British and Irish Lions star in the side for Wales' final match in the championship, at home to Scotland next Saturday.
Mike Phillips, who was dropped to the bench for the win against France, is likely to return if Webb is unfit.

BAD NEWS WALES RUGBY FANS

OUR LEIGH HALFPENNY'S 2014 SIX NATIONS IS OVER

HE HAS A DISLOCATED SHOULDER :-( :-( :-(

GET BETTER SOON OUR LEIGH <3 <3 <3

"IN MEMORY OF GREATER TIMES"....

HYMNS AND ARIAS..........Welsh Comedian / Singer MAX BOYCE
The Chorus is sang by Welsh Rugby Supporters in Stadiums all over the world when Wales are playing!

CHORUS......AND WE WERE SINGING HYMNS AND ARIAS, LAND OF MY FATHERS, AR HYD Y NOS!

We paid our weekly shilling for that January trip:
A long weekend in London, aye, without a bit of kip.
There's a seat reserved for beer by the boys from Abercarn:
There's beer, pontoon, crisps and fags and a croakin 'Calon Lan'.

CHORUS......And we were singing hymns and arias,
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'.....

Into Paddington we did roll with an empty crate of ale.
Will had lost at cards and now his Western Mail's for sale.
But Will is very happy though his money all has gone:
He swapped five photos of his wife for one of Barry John.

CHORUS......And we were singing hymns and arias,
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'.........

We got to Twickers early and were jostled in the crowd;
Planted leeks and dragons, looked for toilets all around.
So many there we couldn't budge -twisted legs and pale:
I'm ashamed we used a bottle that once held bitter ale.

CHORUS......And we were singing hymns and arias,
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'.......

Wales defeated England in a fast and open game.
We sang 'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Delilah',
damn, they sounded both the same.
We sympathised with an Englishman
whose team was doomed to fail
So we gave him that old bottle, that once held bitter ale!

Changed Chorus.....He started singing hymns and arias,
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'......

So it's down to Soho for the night,
to the girls with the shiny beads;
To the funny men with lipstick on,
with evil minds and deeds.
One said to Will from a doorway dark,
damn, she didn't have much on.
But Will knew what she wanted,
aye...his photo of Barry John!

Changed Chorus........'Cos she was singing hymns and arias,
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'.

Hi Roy... so sorry... I was thanking the non-Welsh for supporting THE THREAD not Wales. I wouldn't expect that! :-D :-D :-D

A pleasure but lets get one thing straight,

I am a fan of Welsh ruby but for obvious reasons i was not Cheering Wales :-|



Roy

watch it, watch it - you are speaking of a national hero ;-)
