Rumor is there is unrest between the players and coach. Also, Boudjellal, the Toulon owner who is an odd character, is pushing for a player 'coup'. Last time that happened there was a distinct upturn in their fortunes. I hope Brunel is there until they exit the tournament. We still need to do a job on Fiji or France's woes will be irrelevant.
Massive potential banana skin but it's the first team out tomorrow and barring the mindset being completely wrong, I can't see us losing. Really looking forward to Pool A getting sorted this week, should be a lot of fun! Also on Sunday, Namibia v Canada should be very competitive. A lot of pride at stake.
I think I'll stop watching Wales games It's not good for my health! Great result in the end after such a brutal match. Hope we haven't picked up too many knocks.
There have been so many occasions where the Swans and Wales have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory that I’m ever so wary ..... The glass is half empty.....
Looks like France have two weeks off before we face them now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/49995604 Can only hope that makes them rusty rather than fresh
I think the French needed that England game. They're not sure what their game plan is normally but two weeks to stew on it? Knocks aside, I would have to say Wales' preparation has been excellent with those very tough games. We've shown a lot of composure in both games where we would have lost them both not so long ago.
If Wales start their game against the French, England and NZ they would never come back like they did against Fiji..We have to start like we finish games and give 100% from start to finish..
