Phillips returns to Welsh squad

First topic message reminder :

What the title says, full article: here


Looks like he's seeking help for his behaviour problems (which makes me think he's actually got a real problem off the field). Not sure if it's a good thing he's back in or not, but tis hardly a surprise I guess!

Pity we took Phillips off them and gave them Knoyle!

You took Phillips off of Cardiff, it was Byrne you took off us.

We gave Cardiff Halfpenny and you knoyle, surely we are the ones loosing out in this deal...?

Yes but we do have Hanno Dirksen, Eli Walker, Tom Prydie and Kristian Phillips backing up Shane Williams, Tome Bowe and Nickki Walker, so we cant be too greedy with Wingers!

And it's not as if we dont have Rhys Webb coming through at Scrum Half!

Interesting read that, and can't say I disagree with him too much. I am glad the WRU took the stance they did, I think with the amount of players that have been in the press recently for the wrong reason they had to. More interesting to read what pressures the players feel they are under at the moment though. I think it's something we forget sometimes, and it's not nice to see that some of them are finding it difficult to cope with it. Hope Phillips can sort himself out now and just focus on his rugby.

Well said RD...

He was a quality player a few years ago and I am sure he can regain form so that his positives far out way his negatives.
