First topic message reminder :

Calf strain

Wales' chances rapidly decreasing.

It's a common injury associated with over training.
Sadly Wales players tend to drop like flies when they are in the Wales camp, we don't help ourselves.

I know but it's been happening for yeeeeeears now. Tis always the calf.

This is getting ridiculous now.
It wasn't long ago I was saying how fortunate we were to have a fully fit front row for the first time in years. Now two thirds are out injured!
Unbelievable

Is it that indoor training facility?

well, Jamie Roberts is in Nandos in cardiff accroding to twitter and seems in a pretty good mood, likewise Lydiate was training today, havent seen anything on priestland yet.

Only one of them got injured in training and thats Rees.

After the world cup Bennett had, he should start anyway.

Warburton is the inspirational captain Wales have spent a generation looking for. He gives 100% + a bit more every match. Your captain needs to be someone who always plays at his best and is a menace on the field.
