HERE IT IS WALES!
Warren Gatland has decided.....
WALES TEAM TO PLAY URUGUAY
Backs: 15.Liam Williams 14. Alex Cuthbert 13. Cory Allen 12. Scott Williams 11. Hallam Amos 10. Rhys Priestland 9. Gareth Davies
Forwards: 1. Paul James 2. Scott Baldwin 3. Samson Lee 4. Jake Ball 5. Luke Charteris 6. Sam Warburton (Captain) 7. Justin Tipuric 8. James King
Replacements: 16. Ken Owens 17. Aaron Jarvis 18. Tomas Francis 19. Dominic Day 20. Dan Lydiate 21. Ross Moriarty 22. Lloyd Williams 23. Matthew Morgan
A lot of the big boys have not been included, like Alun-Wyn Jones and Fly Half Dan Biggar.
Obviously they are being protected for a bigger game, particularly after what happened to Rhys Webb and Leigh Halfpenny in their last game. The last thing Wales would need is to lose Dan Biggar's excellent kicking skills having lost the Golden Boot of Our Leigh!
Wales' first game is this Sunday, September 20th!
WALES <3 v URUGUAY .... Kick-Off 2.30pm
Live on ITV 1, S4C, BBC Radio5Live Sports Extra, BBC Radio Wales & BBC Radio Cymru ..... ......And Radio Jem ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hello Radio Jem, I hope you have your fast fingers at the ready. You do an amazing job and no mistake! I will do my very best to be on time for the beginning of the match.
I have some treats for our mascot's little dog so he won't nip the players ankles!
I think Catherine Duchess of Cambridge is meant to be at the opening ceremony.
Cyprus Pat has kindly washed sand out of the white pom poms and passed them over.
Left right twirl, left right twirl, tra la la la la la la. Be back later on.

HOW DOES THE RUGBY WORLD CUP COMPETITION WORK?
There are 20 National Teams involved in the competition.
THE RUGBY WORLD CUP FORMAT
There are two stages in this tournament- A POOL ROUND followed by 3 KNOCK-OUT Rounds of “MUST WIN” contests.
Stage 1 THE POOL ROUND
The 20 competing national teams have been put into 4 Pools or Groups, with 5 Teams in each Pool.
The Pool each team goes into, was decided in December 2012 by the Rugby World Cup 2015 Pool Allocation Draw, held in London.
THE POOLS These are the teams playing in each Pool.
POOL A 1. AUSTRALIA 2. ENGLAND 3. WALES 4. FIJI 5. URUGUAY
POOL B 1. SOUTH AFRICA 2. SAMOA 3. JAPAN 4. SCOTLAND 5. USA
POOL C 1. NEW ZEALAND 2. ARGENTINA 3. TONGA 4. GEORGIA 5. NAMIBIA
POOL D 1. FRANCE 2. IRELAND 3. ITALY 4. CANADA 5. ROMANIA
Each team must play the other teams within the same Pool once, making 10 games per Pool. A Point System will be implemented.
POINTS The Points System works in the same way as in the Six Nations Championship- 4 Points for a Win, 2 Points for a Draw. No points for a Defeat.
On top of these points, 1 MATCH BONUS POINT will be awarded to a team scoring 4 TRIES OR MORE in one match.
A team that loses by just 7 Points or fewer will also receive a Bonus Point
THE TWO TEAMS WITH THE HIGHEST POINTS IN EACH POOL GO ON TO THE NEXT STAGE- THE QUARTER FINALS OF THE KNOCK-OUT GAMES.
The team must win their game in order to go further in the competition.
THE TOP 3 TEAMS WILL RECEIVE AN AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION INTO THE 2019 RUGBY WORLD CUP.
THE QUARTER FINALS
Quarter Final 1. The Winner of Pool B plays the Runner-Up of Pool A
Quarter Final 2. The Winner of Pool C plays the Runner-Up of Pool D
Quarter Final 3. The Winner of Pool D plays the Runner-Up of Pool C
Quarter Final 4. The Winner of Pool A plays the Runner-Up of Pool B
THE TEAMS THAT LOSE THEIR QUARTER FINALS GAME WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE COMPETITION.
THE SEMI FINALS
The winners of the Quarter Finals advance to the Semi Finals, which are played this way-
Semi Final 1. The Winner of the Quarter Finals 1 plays the Winner of the Quarter Finals 2
Semi Final 2. The Winner of the Quarter Finals 3 plays the Winner of the Quarter Finals 4
THE WINNERS OF THE 2 SEMI FINAL GAMES QUALIFY TO PLAY EACH OTHER IN THE FINAL, FOR SILVER AND GOLD MEDALS.
THE LOSERS OF THE 2 SEMI FINAL GAMES PLAY FOR THE BRONZE MEDAL

The crowds are getting really excited at Twickenham and are singing Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline :-D :-D :-D
lalalalala .....
Where it began, I can't begin to knowin' But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who'd have believed you'd come along.
Hands, touchin' hands Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would But now I...
...look at the night And it don't seem so lonely We fill it up with only two.
And when I hurt, Hurtin' runs off my shoulders How can I hurt when holding you?
Warm, touchin' warm Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good Sweet Caroline, I believe they never could Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good Sweet Caroline...
... :-D <3
