So Wales has Argentina, Japan, NZ and SAF. I'm looking forward to the Japan game - was highly entertaining series earlier in the year.
What's a decent result this Autumn for Wales?
From the outside - beat Japan, closeish against Argentina and just taking the medicine for the last two?
Will absolutely take that
Low bar Mike. I don’t get that. Aim for 2 wins.
Have you been watching Wales since they lost to Argentina in the QF of the 2023 RWC?

Wales should be approaching the All Blacks game with confidence. With the best will in the world, after a very long and hard season, our guys will perhaps have one foot on the plane, our coaching team is the poorest I can remember and lots of key facets of our game are mediocre at best.
This is a massive chance for Wales to break their hoodoo.
I sincerely hope you're right but we could be going into that match having been spanked by Argentina and losing to Japan. For the second time in the last three matches.
Not exactly a great springboard to beating the ABs for the first time since 1953!

Sparky, this is a terrible call

@DaGrubster I think this tour will be tough and there will be no easy games for the All Blacks. All four games will be within a couple of scores.
If the All Blacks win all four games, they will need to show a lot of grit.

@DaGrubster You know what I meant

Amongst all these Autumn preparations and matches the WRU have come to a decision on the future of Welsh club rugby
3 Men's teams and 2 Women's teams
West, Capital, East
So that means one of Scarlets and Ospreys gets wound up (literally and figuratively) or they merge.
Cardiff will represent the capital, and the Dragons the East.

The principal characters for Wales playing in Wales and elsewhere are in rude health and good form.
Let's see what Tandy has for them.

Really tough for the Scarlets and the Ospreys and their supporters, but from the outside that makes a lot of sense.

Not 2025 but 1974.
Found the line-ups for the 1974 unofficial test v a “Welsh XV.”
Thinkn it’d be an official test by now if Wales had won.Brit rugby was on a high and NZ took these three teams on in the space of 8 days!
The red players are BI Lions.Drew the game against the Baabaas; Joe had a bit of a shocker, 2 of 7 with the boot, and spilt a high ball that led to a late try to tie the game up.
Gareth box kicked the whole game as they played it like a test match.
The Barbarians pack was the same that had just dealt to the boks a couple of months earlier.
Form.
