[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 948722, member: 56738"] Maybe, maybe not. When trying to read between the lines on a story when there are two very distinct ‘sides’ to what is the possible truth of the matter, the best signifiers are ones that stick out like sore thumbs. As I mentioned in the original post, the fact that the Sungoliaths (who have a twenty year relationship with the head coach of a nation the majority of the world feel is at a level above Wales... you only have to read this forum to conclude that) approached competitor of Eddie Jones (whom they would have a tricky away fixture to that very 6N and could well be playing in a World Cup QF later that year) to join up with rather than approach good ol’ uncle Ed to spend time with the ‘premier’ British test squad just ‘feels’ suspect. The original article... and all likelihood really suggest the Sungoliaths approached Wales. Apparently the WRU (as well as all other major unions I’d imagine) field requests like this fairly often. It would be strange for a Tier One Union to just start offering these kinds of experiences out to random club sides. [/QUOTE]
