Wales for the Grand Slam !!!

So it’s Wales against the Italians tomorrow for week 3 of the 6 Nations championship. I must admit I don’t go along with all the hype surrounding the national side at the moment. Fair play we’ve won two out of two but I think we have played well below the standard required to be a major force at international level. England proved they can’t play for 80 minutes and Scotland…well I think Ton might have a chance of beating them. But if we can still win by not playing well, then that’s a bonus.

It’s a bit like the firsts at the moment some flashes of brilliance last week against Fairwater followed by some woeful defending and crazy decision making. Why is it necessary to run the ball from all positions of the field when we are just one score in front? Let’s secure the win before we go chasing bonus points and champagne rugby.

Any way, like I said some good play last week, but plenty of areas to work on. Our lineout is still very fragile, we have limited options and when Baker was carried off after bending a finger nail or something it was all hands to pumps to get Trigger off the ground. It was nice to see Baker with his clothes on, don’t think I’ll be having a Chinese from across the road for a while though.

Here’s my predictions for tomorrows matches Wales to win, England to win and the Porridge Gobblers will get it right and turn the Bog Trotters over.
