Well what can I say – Wales have done it in style – surviving the ‘Group of Death’ and unlucky not to top the group. Personally I couldn’t have asked more from Sam and the boys – I think they have showed true grit and class in equal amounts and I can’t wait for Saturday. I must admit to one indiscretion – not watching the Samoan game live. I unfortunately witnessed both previous World Cup games in Cardiff and was so traumatised by those losses that I checked the score before watching the game this time. I’m glad I did – I don’t think my blood pressure would have coped! Congratulations to the team and coaching staff – now it’s everything crossed and anything can happen. I must admit I have loved every minute of the whole World Cup and will be at a loss at what to do at 6 in the mornings from now on!
On the Groggs front, I’m busy trying to finish Rodney and Nigel Owens but will also be starting a 9” figure of George North today. I know a lot of new players have put their hands up but George’s rise has been meteoric. I can remember seeing him play for the Scarlets the first time and thought he was like a cross between John Bevan and Jonah Lomu – not a bad mix. The World Cup being such an open competition now we will want to see what happens over the next two weeks before making any more announcements. In the meantime I’ll try and concentrate and get some modelling done – and I promise to watch Wales V Ireland live no matter how tough it is!
Come on Wales!
Cheers for now,
Richard
