Wales Team up to 3rd in World!
Our egg chasers are up the 3rd in World after winning last five Internationals, have we any chance of winning World Cup?

Re: Wales Team up to 3rd in World!
Gatland was up penygraig labour couple of months ago confident we can do it, we have some brilliant players coming through but all in the same position, any one see Moriarty's red card :hehe:

Re: Wales Team up to 3rd in World!
Yes, the Argie outside half kicked him so he got him in a choke tackle by the throat and wouldn’t let go! However,they shook hands after the final whistle, Moriarty just lost it for a minute!

Re: Wales Team up to 3rd in World!
Two brilliant displays by our so called 2nd string.
At last we seem to have some depth to our squad.

Very impressed by our young players. Suddenly we have real strength in depth now. It’s not just at openside. Josh Adams is a terrific winger, Dillon Lewis looks like a cracking prop, Adam Beard an excellent lock. Owen Watkin in the centre etc etc.
As for our backrow..dear God we have an embarrassment of riches.
Shame about the red card but Moriarty was phenomenal and is pushing Faletau all the way.

No doubt about it now. This was primarily a second/third string side but for how much longer? The likes of Warburton, Halfpenny, Biggar and Faletau are no longer guaranteed to start.

Wales are 18-1 sixth favourite to win the 2019 World Cup.
But I have huge faith in Warren and the boys. I love a bit of rugby me.
:wales:

Yes, the Lions will certainly be looking over their shoulders nervously.
Exactly what is needed.
Great to see this happening when England appear to be in free fall.

Yep. We have lacked strength in depth for as long as I can remember. Not now. If Gatland selects on form rather than reputation some big names are going to be in for a shock.

What's the situation with Webb is he out of contention because he has under 50 caps

Yep. He will not play for Wales again unless he returns home.

He's world class and we could do with him

I’ve never thought him as highly as that. He is our first choice nine but I don’t think he is that much better than Gareth Davies, Tomos Williams or Aled Davies.

I don't rate aled Davies at all

He played very well last night. His box kicks were excellent. Webb used to spend too much messing around at the base of the ruck and not getting the ball out to the backs.

They dont match the actual status of the international sides I'd do away with them they serve no purpose , just draw teams like the FA Cup and get on with it is my view . You win you progress , if you lose you go home .

The other nice aspect about our embarrassment of riches in the back row is that England can’t find any backrow forwards at all who can compete for the ball in the tackle

Hope not. Couldn't stand the media adulation and invasion of all things egg.

Re: Wales Team up to 3rd in World!
Were Argentina playing a weakened side? Wales looked absolutely on top against a side who had been, as far as I'm aware, quite good in the last 3-4 years.

Faletau is still way ahead of any other 8 in the NH.

Nope. They were playing their best squad
