Big blow for Wales that's the last think you'd need before a big tournament!!

Been reading that he's apparently been betting on Wales first scores in games and designing plays to help this, something about Webb not making the WC squad too.

Disaster altogether for the Welsh.

Surely they are ready for a World Cup by now, its hard to see his loss having a huge effect. Wales are on of the favourites and this might actually help them in some ways as it will take attention off the team and expectations may be reduced. They have a nice path to a semi final and this could galvanise the squad.

From what I have seen over the past year I would have the All Blacks as favourites followed by South Africa, then slightly behind I would have England, Ireland, Wales and Australia all on the same level.

The Irish game is very well plugged in globally given Rassie Erasmus is managing SA and Cheika is the equivalent with the Australians

[Gmac]

Irish media poking the South Africans a lot about steroids probably not a smart strategy from them when we have a potential quarter final with them ,

[johnnycool]

Conway and Lamour to start

Conway showed he can beat a man in the warm up games, Lamour needs to show that hes more than just a gap filler, prefer Addison but Joe knows best.

Russia and Japan going hell for leather here there's no way they keep this pace up!

[Farrandeelin]

What channels are these games on? Was looking at virgin media and no sign. NZ v SA should be a cracker.
