Wow, Wales get to lose three times to SA this year, sorry Australia!

It'll be nice to lose to three last-minute drop goals rather than last-minute tries this year.

THANKS, whoever did it !!!


So the 'World XV' is comprised of "invited players from around the world", but who will they be this year ? Like, what caliber, who picks them etc...
Could be really really cool. And it's their very next fixture in about three months. It's probably not going to be really really high end players throughout because they've got their own schedule and yadi yada but hopefully they pick a serious XV to face the Boks in SA.
