Re: Your pre-Autumn Internationals Lions XV

Gatland should definitely pick the entire Welsh backline and a fair few of the Welsh forwards (possibly all of them) Put them on for sixty minutes, then bring on some Irish and possibly English to sustain the absolute awesomeness (the Welsh showed in two tests) for another 20 minutes. I reckon it w...

Re: Rugby league Convert backline

Bateman was an incredible player before he went North. Iestyn Harries would be the only convert Wales have had really and Anthony Sullivan I suppose.

Good stuff, rugby already has a bit of a footprint in the armed forces and in some universities, if this gets rugby going in China it can only be good for the game.
