Looking forward to this. Wales have a **** easy group of the little known minnows of France and NZ so I'm sure we'll breeze through that group no problems. Starts this weekend.
 
Saw that this is gonna be on RugbyPass TV - not sure what countries that's for though

Edit: It's showing up in my app so guess UK is one of them

*Quickly scans players, notices Ioan Jones again, makes vodoo doll.*
 
Because of the name? Or have you some other claim to him? Certainly isn't his rugby development (Minchinhampton, Dean Close & Hartpury)
Just his name, I've done no research on him but my guess would be his dad, at least, is from Wales.

I'm only joking though. I'm making 2 voodoo dolls.

He may well have a Welsh parent or two, but appears to have been born, and certainly bred in Gloucester - youngest I can nail him down to U10s at Minchinhampton.

By that logic though, I'm pretty much Irish, but you've got to go back before the potato famine to get anyone born in Ireland
 
Just waiting for age grade to be over and we can stop this nonsense

I do kinda get where they're coming from because Asher and Sela are comfortably the two best props, and if Asher can play 1 then why not, but just stop trying to force it away from u20s

hey, I'm a believer, as most people are, that you should play for the country you feel you belong to (assuming you have a genuine link to that country)

If he wants to play for England because he feels English good luck to him but if you're calling your English born son Ioan, I'm hopeful that there's a strong ancestral link to Wales and the kid makes the right decision. If not I never wanted him in the first place.

ENG 0 - 14 ARG
England been poor so far. Butchering easy 2 on 1s and franticly throwing speculative offloads. Need someone to take control.
 
HT 14 - 14 Much better ten minutes and now England can start again in the 2nd half
