Henson "Losing to Arg was just a blip"

You may be right there Mr Henson, Wales have nothing to fear against Samoa, NZ and Aus.

"You don't become a bad team overnight and that's certainly something Wales are not," Henson said.

Yeah that is what we believed in 2010, but the results kept confirming it. It has been the case for near 3 years now.

That's not fair Bil, on their day against weaker teams they can play some beautiful rugby, they can also do it against strong teams but not for 80mins it's more like 20mins.

Humble pie to be served in this thread at 9.30pm..... don't be late now people....

Thanks Hersh.

"they can also do it against strong teams but not for 80mins it's more like 20mins.."

Seems to have been enough to do the job against England of late.

But the supporters of which team will be serving it up?

The fact is that far from being a foregone conclusion, this match could go either way, and that would deeply worry me if I were Welsh.

As long as we beat the English...

Chortle.

Can I have two slices please?
For the record I don't think Wales will lose tonight but it won't be pretty.

There we go again!

Please note that it wasn't me who turned this into another Wal v Eng debate, that’s very disrespectful towards Samoa, NZ and Aus.

Good to see Welsh pretensions to be a great side are over. It's back to "We had a great season. We lost 4 out of 5 matches but we beat the English".

Actually I was pointing out the irony of the comment being made by an England fan, given the recent record between the two countries. Wales fans aren't worried the whole shooting match is over just because of one poor performance against Argentina.

"I'm still confident they can possibly beat New Zealand and Australia.

"I'm not convinced by either of those two teams. I think when Wales get it right they can win."

Interesting view point..... not convinced by quite possibly one of the strongest sides in the history of professional test rugby currently on a 18 match unbeaten run....a team who have lost only 3 games in their last 43 matches.

I don't really understand this Biltong. What has been the case for 3 years? Are you saying we've been bad for 3 years? If so, and you mean it, then I don't think you've been watching Wales or understand rugby. If so, but you're wumming, then you're just as bad sa HERSH, Cyril, and all the other people you ban. And you're a Mod.

Griff, the keyword here is US, the BOKS.

Apologies. I thought you meant 'we' as in the world rugby public believed Wales might start to be a good team in 2010 but the results kept confirming they were not...!

Must read better in future.

I'll get my coat

Taxi!!

Actually, Henson's only 'confident' of the 'possibility' of a win, which is a bit vague and is not that bullish.

How anyone could say they are not convinced by New Zealand, though... That's definitely one match I'll be going to more in hope than expectation.

Griff, your reading is ok,
but sometimes our sensivities crank what we see through our own 'filters' so we receive what our brain is expecting / fearing to see, not what it actully sees.

Poor old Biltong a Wum ? naaahh. He premods himself before writing. True gent.

Thanks gregortree, always looking after me.

Another HERSH Welsh article...

HERSH and Wales are a truly symbiotic organism.

He is right about Wales beating weak sides though. We beat 5 weak sides in the six nations.
