6N's! Wales v Scotland! Popham OUT????????? Your thoughts please?

Question

Wales: Lee Byrne (Ospreys); Jamie Roberts (Blues), Tom Shanklin (Blues), Gavin Henson (Ospreys), Shane Williams (Ospreys); James Hook (Ospreys), Mike Phillips (Ospreys); Duncan Jones (Ospreys), Huw Bennett (Ospreys), Adam Jones (Ospreys), Ian Gough (Ospreys), Ian Evans (Ospreys), Jonathan Thomas (Ospreys), Martyn Williams (Blues), Ryan Jones (capt, Ospreys).

Replacements: Matthew Rees (Blues), Gethin Jenkins (Blues), Deiniol Jones (Blues), Gareth Delve (Gloucester), Dwayne Peel (Scarlets), Stephen Jones (Scarlets), Sonny Parker (Ospreys).

Answer 1

Still a fine Team for any opposition to contend with.

Answer 2

Yep... i agree with Dan t :)

Scotland to win!! :)

Answer 3

Well shocked - I thought that Mathew Rees would have been in instead of Huw Bennett as he messed up in some line outs. Mark Jones shock is he injured? Popham he was great when he came on and Gethin Jenkins on the bench why oh why?

Answer 4

Good team..

Surprised Mark Jones is out...and Jamie Roberts is on the wing (isn't he a full back?).

Gatland really does make ballsy decisions..and kicks everyone out of their comfort zones..this could even see the end of Peel and Stephen jones.

Amazed Johnathan Thomas is playing.

Edit..it seems (reading elsewhere) popham and jones are out because they gave away too many penalties and made too many mistakes.

8O  Is that the First time in welsh rugby history?

Answer 5

very suprised excellent player must be injured, i would have thought at least the bench.

hmmmm we will just have to see.

not sure if my nerves can take this

Answer 6

I admit to a lot of regard for Popham and  hope the Manager has made the right decison. We need to win well against Scotland.

Answer 7

Surprised about Popham would have thought he at least would have a place on the bench but not Mark Jones can't see why when he has such pace he consistently decides to try and run into the like of vainikolo and Narraraway, crazy. I feel if Shane's gonna be on one wing we may need a little more bulk on the other to give us options

Answer 8

I'm not a fan of Popham nor Shane Williams. Williams is too greedy. On many occasions during the World Cup we could have scored if he'd passed the ball.

Answer 9

Roberts will do well on that wing !!!

Popham a Strange decision ?!?!?! but the other guys in the Back row aren't push-overs so !!!!

We're probaly going for a Heavier pack for the Scottish.

Answer 10

Yes Welshchick, totally agree with you!  Alix Popham should be playing, as should Gethin Jenkins. Popham is like a terrier, he's always in there , snapping at our opponents heels!!

I also have to agree with Julie H. Mark Jones is needed on the wing . I find Shane Williams too greedy with the ball.

Answer 11

Popham gave away quite a few penalties and I guess Gatland is hoping that's all Scotland will score at the weekend.

Obviously that won't be the case.

After lulling everyone into a false sense of security we'll run riot this weekend*

Answer 12

scotland did not play tht well against france but a hav a hunch tht scotland cood win because am not being biast becuase am scottish but a fink they will win if they dont tough S**hit

lol
