WELL!... Warren's using some BIG GUNS and some LITTLER BIG GUNS ;-) :-D

He's included big names such as LEIGH HALFPENNY and GEORGE NORTH, who maybe need some playing time having both been out of the team this year with concussion!

Also the DAN BIGGAR / RHYS WEBB partnership

Phenomenal Forward- GETHIN JENKINS IS IN!

MISSING NAMES:
Last week's Man Of The Match JUSTIN TIPURIC and DAN LYDIATE
Also last week's captain ALUN-WYN JONES.
He and BRADLEY DAVIES were both injured last week.

JAMIE ROBERTS is not in this week. Probably being rested.
The WRU Website has SCOTT WILLIAMS as 12 and COREY ALLEN as 13.
However I have edited the positioning as the BBC Wales news says Corey Allen is at 12 and Scott at 13. We shall see on Saturday!

Edited in
I HAVE NOW HAD TO RE-AMEND AS I WAS RIGHT AND THE WALES NEWS WAS WRONG ALL ALONG!
End of edit

Two of the three mentioned in the above post- boys that were not included in the World Cup Squad proper,have been chosen for the replacement bench- KRISTIAN DACEY an ROSS MORIARTY.

Join us here on Radio Jem (this thread) to cheer Wales on with the Rugby Gang! :-)

Good Morning Rugby Gang :-) :-) <3

We are still waiting for the Wales Team for Saturday v Italy to be announced!

Come On Warren! .... put us out of our misery! :-|



It is the last round of the Rugby World Cup 2015 Warm-Up matches on Saturday.

With that fact in mind, and as Wales will be playing against Italy as opposed to one of the stronger teams, I expect Warren will not pick some of the bigger names this week!

With just over 2 weeks to go to the Rugby World Cup proper -
I wouldn't risk it ... would you?


There have even been reports online that perhaps some of the boys from the Training Squad that didn't make the World Cup Squad, such as KRISTIAN DACEY, ROB EVANS and ROSS MORIARTY may be called upon to play!

~~~~~~ Sooooooper Blod! ;-) :-D :-D :-D <3
(Starry Ann)

Just something I knocked up inbetween attending the Darlinks every whim and serving a five course dinner for OH :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Delighted to hear Sean Maitland has made the Scotland team :-).

We know his family - but AB's all the way ;-)

oooooo Blod, that's a great poem! :-D :-D :-D <3

Kandj, you've got until 2.30 Saturday! So keep the practice up! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

ME?? OLYMPIC STANDARD??.....Oooooh, you do tell big fibs Radio Jem!!!

Left right twirl, Left right twirl....... how long to kick off please???

Halfpenny, his kicks are like a rocket.
Zooming through the posts like they're landing in a pocket.

Wyn-Jones, strong as an ox and feisty like a raging fire.
He demands the best from his comrades, he wants a trier.

North, fast as a cheetah, and built like a bull.
He runs around the field, like he's in the middle of a cull.

Phillips, always defending the ball and keeping it safe.
He has the passion and desire, that every player craves.

Welsh rugby is a joy to behold
Keep your eyes on them, they will never fold! :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3
