I would like to see Mike Philips in the team Jem.

But saying that it's still a good team to rumble in the jungle :-D

Yes, I'd love to see Mike Phillips<3 back in the team too, Shaun :-)

Mikey's a big favourite of mine, but I have to grudgingly say, he's not quite as fast at getting the ball away as he once was.

Gareth Davies is doing very well, and has scored quite a few tries in the WC.
And Lloyd coming in on the wing instead of Scrum Half was the turning point in that game!

So many playing out of their normal positions- Rhys Priestland on the Wing, George North at Centre etc!

But we woz brilliant Shaun!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jem, what ever happened to Dwayne Peel, he just disappeared, not heard that he retired from rugby, I did like him, very nippy at one time.

Hiya Shaun

Your toes must be improving if you are able to twirl like that! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

AND .... WHO IS JEZEBEL?... THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW!! :-S :-| :-0 ;-) :-D

I cannot find anything about Dwayne Peel retiring on line Shaun.

He has been playing for BRISTOL RUGBY since 2014, following a transfer from SALE SHARKS where he was from 2008 until then.

Of course, he was playing for Llanelli SCARLETS before Sharks, and when Warren Gatland took over as Head Coach of Wales in 2007, he had a "desired" policy that he would select from the WELSH CLUBS for the Wales team, but that Peel would be an exception.

He was not included in the Wales Six Nations Squad in 2009, but was brought in to cover the injured GARETH COOPER.


Dwayne was the MOST CAPPED SCRUM-HALF for WALES with 76 CAPS until MIKE PHILLIPS surpassed the record in 2013.

Dwayne was invited to the BARBARIANS SQUAD in 2013.


DWAYNE WENT INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH STEPHEN JONES IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS....
Along with Construction Entrepreneur Robert Williams and Restaurateur and Food Broadcaster Simon Wright.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/restaurant-run-rugby-stars-crowned-2024765


THEY ARE ALSO CO-OWNERS OF LLANELLI'S "B9-10 BAR & CAFI"
9-10 obviously standing for their playing postions- Dwayne being the 9 (Scrum-Half and Stephen being a retired 10 (Fly-Half)

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/welsh-rugby-stars-open-llanelli-8280181

So Dwayne's quite a busy man it would seem :-D :-D

Hi DET :-)

In a perfect Rugby World, it would have been great if Wales had gone into the uneven Group C :-D :-D :-D :-D

However, the Teams in each Pool were selected by DRAW in 2012! :-(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to DEPUTY COMMENTATOR & CHEER LEADER, KANDJ ;-) :-D :-D :-D

thank you for the info on Dwayne Peel Jem, very interesting, one minute he was always playing and gone the next.

Who is Jezabel, you not heard of Frankie Laine.
