England have gone for a physical team to face the Wallabies on Sunday.

I notice that last week's Kicker, Fly Half GEORGE FORD, has been relegated to the bench in favour of OWEN FARRELL. Probably a good thing, by George's kicking performance in last weekend's Warm-Up Friendly v Wales.
This will be the first time that Owen will start as Fly-Half under the direction of England's new Head Coach EDDIE JONES.

AW! NO SONNY BILL WILLIAMS:-(
I wonder why? I will need to investigate!!!

You may remember that Sonny Bill was the All Black player who gave away his Rugby World Cup Gold Medal to a young fan, and won the hearts of many rugby supporters in the process.<3



As usual, The All Blacks will be a very difficult team to beat.

However, they are beginning a new era having lost so many of their star players at the end of the Rugby World Cup last year.
Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, Ma'a Nonu, Keven Mealanu, Tony Woodcock and Conrad Smith all retired from International Rugby.

So there will be a new dynamic in the New Zealand Team this year. How will that affect the game?
Well, According to The Telegraph, these are the odds!:-D

NEW ZEALAND: 1 / 12 :-0

DRAW: 70 / 1 :-0

WALES: 16 / 1 :-0

:-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0


WELL WALES .... YOU NEED TO STEP UP NOW! WE CAN'T HAVE THIS :-0 :-0 ;-)


NEW ZEALAND v WALES ..... THIS SATURDAY JUNE 11th

KICK OFF TIMES
UK: 8.35am
NEW ZEALAND: 7.35pm (Sunday in New Zealand)

BROADCASTING: Please read my last post. :-)

LOOKING GOOD! ;-) :-D :-D <3


Great to see Wales Captain SAM WARBURTON back from injury in time for Wales' first Test Match in New Zealand, especially as second in command, DAN LYDIATE was injured in the England v Wales Warm-Up Friendly, and so out of the tour!


Gatland has brought back two experience front rowers - Cardiff Blues player GETHIN JENKINS (1) and KEN OWENS (2), Scarlets. These favourites will take their places in the scrum alongside SAMSON LEE (3)

At Midfield we see the the reuniting of Wales' most capped partnership - JAMIE ROBERTS (12) and JONATHAN DAVIES (13)

We again see the pairing of RHYS WEBB at Scrum Half and DAN BIGGAR at Fly Half.

ROSS MORIARTY takes the injured Dan Lydiate's place at 6, while Ellis Jenkins who was drafted in as injury replacement in the squad is on the bench.

WALES FAVOURITE .... AND OURS TOO ....
....ALUN-WYN JONES WILL RECEIVE HIS 100th CAP ON SUNDAY<3


Our boys have had a fantastic welcome in New Zealand, and I'm sure both camps as well as fans from both these great rugby nations are looking forward to the forthcoming games immensely
THANKS NEW ZEALAND <3
