Presumably it forgot that it is also meant to cover Wales as well , but let’s skip over that . In it the stats show some interesting facts for Welsh rugby supporters interesting if you weren’t watching the games . anyway Now I am not a big fan of statistics , they can be used in almost anyway you want . I recall Gareth Jenkins going on about linebreakds showing we did well or something just after we got hammered by England before the last World Cup .

Home Forum About Us Free Newsletter The Dungeon Home Featured Headline International Rants Some Plus Points From the 6 Nations No Comment Let’s face it us Welsh rugby fans need some sort of cheer up after another disappointing 4 place finish in this year’s 6 Nations tournament . There were plenty of negatives to take from it , but let us instead look for some positives now that I have managed to calm down a little and no longer feel the need to run down half the squad and management using a super charged golf buggy with spikey bits attached to it . Positives for Welsh Rugby Bradley Davies Was immense in his first game , getting over the sad passing of his Mother to produce one of the performances of the series as far as Wales is concerned .
