Portugal v Wales - Sun (Sat GMT)

Post by Lizard »

I see the Welsh Board hasn't quite pulled itself together enough to start thinking about this one.

It's Portugal's first run out. Fiji has probably taught them some lessons about taking the points on offer but I just can't see Portugal having the cattle for it. I guess there's always the chance of a comedy Welsh implosion...

We've got a number of players who could do with some game time (Lake, Anscombe, Johnny Williams, Grady), so this will be useful.

Plus I expect most of Sunday's squad will be in ice baths until the start of the next 6 Nations, which, incidentally, will be featuring the new World Champions.

I also think we need to see H Thomas as a starter.

I’m still massively underwhelmed by Beard. Maybe start Christ with Jenkins in the second row and see what they can do
