it wasn't even an exciting game, tense at the end, i'll gve you that, but there was no particular excitement that got me on the edge of my seat

Probably because your not welsh and you didnt have as much interest in the outcome of the game?
If Scotland or Zimbabwe or something i doubt I would hae ben o the edge of my seat but as it was MY home nation and the country I support I found it thrilling

As I work within French rugby league I would have thought that I had a vested interest, had France had won I would have been saying exactly the same, unfortunately it was a poor game between two poor teams.

Based on the weekend's performance, I hope that a lot of Australians with Welsh ancestry all off a sudden make themselves available to Iestyn!

I hink the only way for Wales to become competitive in Inernational RL is to give the Welsh players experience against the powerhouses. Sure we may be on the receiving end of some thumpings but it would make them more determined and enhance their game playing against the worlds best. Though Slater and Inglis are more than welcome to discover their Inner Welshness
