great to see the welsh management taking a contingent­ of up and coming youngsters and hopefully some of these­ will form the backbone of the welsh team over the next­ few seasons

This tour is the perfect op. for ryan jones, hook, d.­ jones and ian gough to rediscover the fluidity that­ helped the team gel back in 08. No J.Robinson is­ suprising, but maybe the coachin staff are lookin at­ the fact hes off to Toulon or another french club next­ year, so he wont be part of future welsh squads?
The­ main goal of this tour if i was coach wud be to get the­ lineout up to scratch. Nothing fancy like Matfield Ali­ Williams Bakkes Botha et al, just get it to a level­ where we can guarantee we can secure our own ball. Its­ been the biggest flaw in the armour recently.

What does Jamie Robinson have to do to get a place in a­ Welsh Squad? He's been outsanding this season, but­ it's great to see Czekaj back. Oh, and­ jack2tufy/orange2tuf, go crawl back under your stone­ you xenophobic bigot.

Spot on comment from Moggie but yet again we have a­ moron making inane comments in reply. Sounds like­ Orange2tuf has changed his tag to cover his gutless­ vanishing act after Munster took a terrible beating.­ Anyway this about the Welsh team, so sod off

why?

its the right decision by the Lions not to take Jones­ in the end. even as a welsh fan i can say this quite­ easily, because he simply hasnt shown any form or­ ability this season. if the Lions had been last summer,­ i think no-one cud argue he wud almost certainyl have­ been captain of the side because of the grand-slam­ winnign form, but times have changed in 12 months, hes­ looked unfit and unready for test matches, and taking­ him wud have denied another player his place
if quinlan­ is banned, Tom Croft shud go and Jones shud still go to­ N.America, lead the side to some good displays and­ victories and come back stronger.
