The IRB has deemed that that George North breaks the maximum allowed requirements on height, weight, skill and speed and has decided to impose sanctions on the Welsh team. The only way North would be allowed to play is if several key players were omitted from the squad to even things out. Obviously this is not good news for Gatland. Wales really need to win next week and unfortunately North will have to start.

This provisional team has been submitted by the Welsh management and it is hoped that the IRB will allow it to go ahead.

Still has more attacking potential in the back division that Scotland.

Robinson will still pick Parks and kick for territory...

That team could still put 40 past Scotland (in the first half) so doubt it will be allowed.

North may have to miss the first half to allow Scotland to gain some territory.

Bit unfair on Scotland. At least see if we get our fifth straight win against them first before insulting them. Just think back to when they gave us a massive scare in 2010.

Well I was at Murrayfield in 2005 and 2007 and I don't think you can polarise emotions any more than in those two matches.

Acid induced elation followed by suicidal tendancies would best describe those two matches.

Where will our tactical and place kicking come from if Gethin is out though!?

Perhaps the IRB will allow us to put Halfpenny at hooker?

What will be really hilarious is if Scotland achieve the deemed impossible to beat Wales.
