[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 972913, member: 74121"] That really stinks about Liam. I'll be having to hit the early morning caffeine to stay awake during this one with Biggar, Parkes, North and Halfpenny on 'attack' duty. Thats a job for David Copperfield, not Stephen Jones. Parkes playing with a broken hand/finger and banged up might explain his performance last time out and doesn't sound like the sort of thing he'll quickly shrug off. I always say Wales have only the fourth strongest pack in the 6N and always expect them to buckle against top packs, and they almost always prove me wrong and put in the sort of effort that leaves me dumbfounded. They are going to need 8 heroes up front because without say Patchell AND Watkins, the backs are going to produce absolute zero unless the Bok defence goes AWOL. I can see the Welsh pack losing morale in this one if it becomes clear Wales have no attacking threat. Not trying to be funny or unpleasant, but I'd assess Wales as having about a 50% chance of scoring zero tries, and the Boks don't necessarily have a top defence. I would have made my optimum Wales choice favourites by about 3-6 points in this one as they have so much potential as a group. [/QUOTE]
