OH wants me to get in touch with the Italy Rugby Union

He has presented 3 WOODEN SPOONS for them!

1 FOR THE TEAM AS A WHOLE

1 FOR AN "EEDJUT" (he's Irish) who passed the ball to Jonathan Joseph

the 3RD to smack the Italian Manager on the ***


This is because, England is a big danger to Wales in this Championship of course!

Especially with such an amassing of points! :-D :-D :-D :-D

WALES NEWS ............ POOR RHYS WEBB!

Wales Fans looked on in horror as First Choice Scrum-Half, Rhys Webb, sustained an horrific injury during the Wales v Italy Rugby World Cup Warm-Up Game.

His screams were picked up on the microphones, and could be heard all around the stadium! Rhys sustained a knee / ankle injury which put an end to his World Cup for 2016!

WALES RECALL
However, Rhys was on the mend, and the Wales Camp were hoping to recall him for the next Welsh Game v France!


BUT OH NO! :-( :-0 :-( :-0 :-(


Rhys played his first game after the injury for his club, THE OSPREYS, last Sunday v
Munster .....
