Is it just my imagination or is Warburton injury-prone?

Myself id have prefered Hook at FH ,rayher than Preistland ,who imohas totally blown his Lions chances I cant see anything but a NZ win tbh,and by a big margin aswell.50+ HAMMERING EVENas the NZ management have said they wont to beat Wales the most.

@jmanngod
And possibly numbers 9 and 11
That isn't far off the starting team from the 6 nations this year so close to a full strength team bar 2/3 players. Cant see Wales staying within 15 points to be honest. Hopefully i'm wrong

Wales are still a quality team.... expect them to still be competitive... the player that they are missing the most is Lydiate.... but some of the others who are in the team have not been playing well. This is perhaps understandable with all of the players leaving Wales and with the regional sides playing without any real success.

In the highly unlikley situation that Wales should win this ARISE, SIR WARREN you saw it here first........

rugbybutten says...
jmanngod.............thanks, you have just made up my mind......£10 on Wales to win. We are a bit thick, but I think Wales will think, if we think, I think we can win.. well thats my thought....I think

"Do you think Warren harbours thoughts of coaching the ABs in the future?" Are you serious, of course he does that will be burning uppermost in his mind, he is a Kiwi you know. It was good enough for
Sir GH, so once 2013 and 2015 is out of the way (and providing SH has lost a game or two by 2017) then it will be Gatland who will take the AB's to wherever in 2019 for sure.

@rugby_rockstar - Good post mate

Hmm...Priestland really has to do something special here or else Jones will have to be recalled until Biggar recovers, the forwards are looking as strong as they typically can and I'm sure wales will fight extra hard for Gatland but I 100% put my money on the All Blacks to win...Wales are really declining and probably rightly so are falling down the rankings rapidly.

Not sure Ryan Jones is better than any 6 NZ has. Messam is coming into his work very nicely. NZ Scrum is one place where they will dominate. That Wales scrum looks to be one of the weakest on the international front right now. Like the Welsh back-line. It's up there with the best if they get good ball. Good balanced back-row. Going to be a cracker.

Crying shame we don't get to see Jamie Roberts take on Sonny Bill Williams.

Wales toured NZ in June 2010 for 2 tests (one in Hamilton, one in Dunedin). That's what he is referring to.

Can't argue with that team on paper having the goods. dont know alot about those props. I do believe Wales will play their best rugby against the all blacks. Regardless of previous results this will be tight.

nice to see shingler making the match day squad why the hell did howley not select him beggers belief.

Every team get up against the All Blacks. That's a given. Wales will be no different. This will be their game of the season.

jmanngod says...
I can't imagine that Wales could do anything to win this game frankly. But, the ABs may have a mini collapse (like in Brisbane) or the ref might contribute (see: endless references)... but, no. I can't see it. There isn't a single position where Wales have a better player.... at 6 maybe.

@ Armchair General ...In NZ we're used to 1 summer every year , in UK its every 2 on average . I think that explains the quote :-)

I had a sneaking suspicion that Jon Davies would return to the fold just in time for this game. His defense in midfield and ability to create something out of nothing is so important to this Welsh side. Looks to be a little too late though as they have already slipped on the banana skins that were Argentina and Samoa.

Agree, what does James Hook have to do to get a tenth of the chances Priestland has had?
Priestland came on last week, and blew one of the best chances we had.
Saw Adam Jones at the gym yesterday, just doing light upper body stuff, but physically looking solid.
Come back soon, we need you!
