We'll be fielding Neil Jenkins and a few supporters the number of injuries we've got.

Is it that bad Mike?
If so, it's a pity for Wales who of the 2 teams, probably have the most to gain from this match. Swansong for Gatland (and Wyn Jones I think?), bronze medal and a first ever victory over the AB's....

I wouldn't bet on that one, Jones (it's Alan-Wyn, not Wyn-Jones BTW) has already had more swan songs than Sinatra and he keeps coming back for more. Legend or nutter? Bit of both I guess.

Ah. Thank you for pointing that out. I genuinely didn't know.
I consider myself suitably schooled and will administer the requisite uppercuts accordingly.

Just because you Welsh haven't learned to spell properly after all these years.

@Billy-Webb Didn't I say something about school days?

@Catogrande @MiketheSnow

WTF lads?
I'm now as confused as a vegan meerkat.

Can the 2 of you please decide on the right answer so my education is accurate?

Alan Lost Jones.

[Billy Webb]

@MajorRage

you're not helpng MR.

But I think I have it now anyway: Alun Wyn Jones (no hyphens).

[Catogrande]

@Billy-Webb Close. Alun-Wyn - with a hyphen. Alun-Wyn being his given name. made more complex by the somewhat confusing Welsh alphabet. U instead of A, LL (being Cl), dd (being f), csi (instead of x). Plus many more I am sure.

Eish.... Third time lucky for me then. Or is it fourth? Or fifth? I will now exit the stage with whatever shred of dignity I still have remaining...

[broughie]

@MiketheSnow Hadliegh Parkes? Wales is screwed.

Often much correlation and causation.

"and a first ever victory over the AB's...."

More schooling, Wales have beaten the ABs, it was just a fair while ago

[reprobate]

I reckon the two things that caused us to be so terrible against the poms - a tactic of playing without the ball, and terrible nerves / scoreboard pressure - will be gone, and we will look like a million bucks again.

[Bovidae]

The play-off for the Rugby World Cup 2019 bronze medal between New Zealand and Wales will be available live on Spark Sport and with a one hour delay on TVNZ 1 on Friday 1 November. The match was previously scheduled to stream solely on Spark Sport, but the Spark team has made the decision to show the match with a one hour delay on TVNZ now that the All Blacks are part of the play-off.

[Chris B.]

@Bovidae Good - Spark getting something right!

[mariner4life]

@mooshld

[Hooroo]

So we are striving for a record third Bronze medal! Yay us!

May as well end the Hansen era with a loss to the welsh but we will win as Wales look a bit poke.

[bayimports]

at least we have three gold to with it!

[Billy Tell]

I don’t care what people think about the merits of the match but if we lose to Wales it’s an unmitigated disaster.

I’d be confident the team will include all those retiring or moving overseas and that we will win handily enough.
