[2013 EOYT] Wales

[psychic duck]

I'd imagine the Wallabies may take a bashing in Cardiff

well I dunno about the circumstances though, but the Wales I know and the Wallabies I know (i.e. past year), Wales have a good chance of punishing the Wallabies good at home this time around.

they really 'should' make this a 3 out of 4 at least. I do believe the Boks will beat them, but for the other 3 teams, Wales has what it takes to take the advantage without great difficulty, and are at home. I think Argentina will match up better than the Wallabies will against Wales specifically

Some real great predictions here. Just as fits in with my rule of thumb, the fact "yoe 91" thinks one thing means the opposite is true.

Duck is there any need?

Yeah I agree. I don't think very many would have seen this kind of resurgence from Australia. They played a hundred times better yesterday than they did on the Lions tour and for most of the 4 nations.

I was going more along the lines of antagonising Ewis.

Well your rule of thumb is no longer valid. Yoe 91 is dead, long live Big Ewis!

I should probably know the answer to this, but if Mike Philips is cited and banned, would it be for games or weeks? And if games, international or any?
I.e might he miss any of the six nations?

Do not bans work on the principle of a number of days/weeks as opposed to the number of games?

So if you are banned for six weeks, it is six consecutive weeks no matter how many games are played by your club/country in that time?

I seem to remember a French player being banned for 26 weeks for biting/gouging (Dupuy or was it the USAP hooker?) and his ban started in March and finished in the following September?

 

[Rich Taff]

Yeah, bans are for set periods of time, not games. Which is why you usually see '43 days ban' or something by some Unions if there's an international the player is needed for in 44 days time

My favorite European team, play with character, fire and spirit, these guys are real dragons

Cymru Wales

Anyone think Tom James should be in the Wales squad ? Great utility player had some really great games this year for Exeter and IMO heads and shoulders above Liam Williams ?

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

The problem with Tom James is that he doesn't have a brain.

Was useless in his last few seasons for the Blues, and literally does bugger all every time he puts on the Welsh shirt. Last time he played for Wales was 2010 vs NZ I think, he got driven back every time he took the ball in to contact, not exactly what should be happening to a over 6'0'' player

 

[Rich Taff]

He has all the physical attributes required to be top class but, as Dunc say's, nothing in the top three inches.

 

[Draggs]

James, Czekaj, Brew, Stoddart. We have a generation of wings with no brains but every other skill.

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Kind on Czekaj and harsh on Stoddart. About right otherwise. To be fair, Cuthbert's hardly a deep thinker either.
