What? Today??? We don't want any loss, but if you're going to lose I'd rather it be now than in a month's time.

There's arguably slightly more pressure on England today than on Wales. They are playing at home against a side that absolutely did not distinguish itself in the spring - despite winning the only game that matters - a win is expected and anything less would not acceptable and there's a distintly experimental feel to the Wales side. Therefore Wales will have plenty of opportunities for the Spin Doctors regardless of the result after the game - we win, a great morale boosting victory, we lose....well, it was experimental, away from home blah, blah blah......

For England, they win...well it was expected over a team lower than them in the rankings, they lose...if they can't beat Wales then how do they expect to beat greater teams

My money is on Wales, although I will only admit that to you here, not to anyone in public, I mean who wants to admit that kind of shameful thing eh?

Ahhh...a closet fan. Come on out of the closet - let it out, be true to yourself. No need to hide anymore

Would set the cat among the pigeons a bit if they did win. Will you be watching? As usual, I'll be the only Welshman among around 20 English. Cue 80 mins of sheep jokes (which are still as fresh to me now as they were when I first heard them over 1000 tellings ago) followed by much gloating and 20 guys crying into to their beer before making a hasty exit from bar!!!!

You dont ever want to see me when the AB's lose!


A few years back when the AB's played England just before the WRC for the Autumn matches and they lost, I lost it too, and had to be dragged out of the pub with 3 Kiwi's!


I was a little upset.


I am not, nor have I never been a closet Wales fan...........although I do have an under 21,s commemorative Wales top in a frame that was given to me.

I'd say that was a bare faced lie, Goddamit!!!! Libellous even. We've had much bigger whoopings in recent years and by much better teams, let me tell you Mr Matt!!!! We're specialists!!!!!!

Right, seeing as we made all your players look fantastic, who from Saturday is likely to make it into the test squad?

The Wales team is easier to dissect. Very few of the pack should be considered and I know he was playing behind a defeated pack, Gareth Cooper is just not up to it. Sweeney could be taken but as a utility back. Jury still out on Brew, but Thomas, James, Shanklin and Byrne should get the nod.
