Not sure what population size has to do with it

It's used a lot to explain the (relative or absolute) lack of success of Wales, Scotland and the Pacific islands in particular.

New Zealand has a population of...

5 million. But the lack of relative or absolute success of those teams I mentioned is often put down to small populations and small player pools.

Fair call

7 tigers not bad at all.
Picks of those 7 for me are
Lewis Chessum (Lock)
Carnduff (Lock)
Woodward (12)

6. CCS
7. Pepper
8. Fisilau
Scary ass back row

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Actually the Tigers lock pairing of
4. Chessum 6ft 10
5. Carmichael 6ft 11

Would be insane from a lineout POV

CCS as a third jumper at 6'4 ain't bad either.

I had no idea who Hathaway and Jenkins were but now I've read WOL and know they're Welsh i'm outraged.

Joke obviously. I'm keeping an eye out for Wales squad but doesn't appear it's been announced yet.

With a name like Aneurin it's only a matter of time until WOL start writing about Nye Thomas, despite him being a Scouser

Oh ****, didn't see him. Thomas as well so must be Welsh. Forget about the born in Liverpool rubbish.

I see he's one of yours.

Please, we don't wanna go down the Scottish route of finding anyone to play for the country who has the most tenuous links to it.

I'm pretty sure the Scots learnt it from you…

Dunno what you're implying. Think you're getting confused with the WRU's love of wholemeal bread back in the early 00's , think it was referred to as 'GranaryGate'...
