An evening with Warren Gatland

[surge]

It seems mad to play four high profile warm-up games when it was injuries that spoiled the last world cup and this being Gatland's last world cup. I can see us losing at least one but it will be injury rather than defeat that is the bigger risk factor.

My thoughts precisely. I suppose with a World Cup squad of 31 each player will start in two warm up games only but even so it’s high risk playing such physical and competitive sides.
