Unlikely to get out of their Pool, for the second RWC in a row
Genius if they do

Both Tipuric and AWJ announce international retirement
Two legends of Wales and British Lions
Arguably both would have been bit players at the RWC barring injury
Hopefully Thomas Young gets his deserved call up instead of Tips
-
Makes you wonder why Gatland selected them in the initial squad.

I wouldn’t say unlikely. They can definitely knock over SA or Ireland on the day, but yeah, by curious quirk of fate three of the top five ranked countries are all in the same pool whereas minnows like Australia and Wales will get a much easier ride.

U20s
Huge result

@MiketheSnow Was that a full strength England U20 squad?

Not sure, but you'd presume so being so close to the U20 championships

Quite the admission from Gatland, though he does finish on a more positive note.

Or put another way
I wasn't told the full extent of the problems prior to signing
I'm aware of them now
I've taken steps to move in the right direction
I'm very much underplaying our chances in the RWC so if we get beyond the QF stage then everyone will see me as the fantastic coach I think I am -
@MiketheSnow Welsh rugby seem a basket case, Liam Williams reportedly gettin an out of his Cardiff contract to go to Japan, They looking at cutting costs!

Yep
Some very average players have been raking in above average wages for far too long

Italian rugby chiefs make shock decision to change head coach after RWC
Kieran Crowley will be replaced as head coach of Italy following the Rugby World Cup in France after the FIR decided not to extend his contract.
-
Dumb
-
Like to know the thinking behind this decision, is it money?
Crowley's done wonders for Italy - building on the younger players coming thru and turning them into a serious threat against anyone.

@Dan54 said in NH International Rugby:
@Bones Yep have known and read all that, this is just showing it getting even more crappier when you losing more top players.
TBF, only Rowlands in with a shout of starting
-
I do wonder what the KPIs are for an Italy coach. Given where they were, you’d have to think that Crowley had hit most of them.
Good luck Italy in replacing him with a top coach. Who’d touch that poisoned chalice?

I wonder if Crowley will continue his journey hame that he was in midst of when he got Italian gig. He's a Kaponga boy, and I quite sure Kaponga would find a job for him coaching the Kaponga team in the Naki 2/3rd div!!
Please stop by Cardiff Mr Crowley
