Wales - Vastly Overated.....

Let me just start by saying that I am in fact Welsh.

Just not good enough I’m afraid. To frail in defence and to light up front. Great ball handling skills but in the modern game it isn’t enough to win games for you.

Wales 62-28 Canada

Canada are a 2nd tier nation with only a handful of players playing top flight rugby in Europe (French and English 2nd Tier) and god knows what the Canadian domestic league is like, no offence intended. This game was almost a squad decider for the upcoming Kiwi game, everyone should have been playing for their place……how the hell did they concede 28 points against this lot?

Wales 38 – 20 Pacifica

The Islanders had been together for a full four days before taking on Wales at the Millennium stadium – thank god they threw us two completely mad interception passes and didn’t decide to start playing until the 60th minute. Scotland and Ireland humped the Islanders later on in their tour.

Wales 10 – 47 New Zealand

Enough said.

Wales could be in serious trouble come the end of the 6 Nations – defeats are more than possible in the Ireland, France and England games not to mention the Italian and Scotland fixtures…..despite the talent in the backs there is nothing up front and whilst I know a few of the lads really do try their hearts out they are let down by the fact we don’t have a world class or even international class front 5.

Gareth Jenkins - Got the job because the WRU felt sorry for him, because he's from Llanelli, and because no foreigner in his right mind would coach Wales. "The best coach in Wales" doesn't really mean anything when your competition is along the lines of Lyn Jones and Dai Young

From a betting perspective – Wales look overpriced at 20/1 for the Wooden Spoon at Paddy Power and you should be able to still lay that off for profit.
