Its interesting to think of what they would have done if Wales had lost on Sunday. I wouldn't have thought that Bale and Allen would have stuck around beyond these Nations League games and Ramsey would probably have been one more long term injury away from retirement too.
Usually I'd say sport and sentiment aren't a good mix but having this World Cup as a final hurrah for a lot of those from the Tosh and ,more importantly, Speed eras (including stalwarts such as Gunter and Williams) feels very fitting to me.
