Latest News-

George North has been named for the Wales Starting 15 to face South Africa in the first Test Match on their Tour-
However, George has been suffering from a virus, and Warren Gatland has decided to wait until the very last moment to see if the Winger will actually be fit to play!
I CERTAINLY HOPE SO! :-) :-)

Our Scrum Half, MIKE PHILLIPS, in an interview by an S4C Sport's Reporter.
He said in his native Welsh tongue-
that the forthcoming Test Match will be a very hard game, as the Springboks are a very tough side to play against, the best in the world.
It will be an "Extremely difficult game, but the team is looking forward to it- Hopefully, we can get in a good performance and a victory"

WE WELSH RUGBY FANS CERTAINLY HOPE SO! :-) :-)

ADAM JONES' 100th CAP

When Adam Jones steps out onto the Rugby Field for today’s game v South Africa, he will have won his 100th International Cap.
The long serving prop will have made 95 appearances for Wales and 5 for the British and Irish Lions.

Speaking to “Wales Online”, he attributed his international success to two New Zealanders that have been Wales Coaches.
First, Steve Hansen, who gave him his start 11 years ago, and then Warren Gatland of whom he said “gave me the kick I needed!” and “I don’t think I would have got to 100 caps without Warren”

Currently playing for “The Ospreys” ( Gweilch yn Gymraeg), the Tighthead Prop (number 3)has been in a Wales Grand Slam Winning Squad three times, one of only a small number of players to do so.

PROFILE:

Name: Adam Rhys Jones

Place of Birth: Abercraf, South Wales.

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU- THE WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri; Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Cytgan/ Chorus Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

LITERAL TRANSLATION:
The old land of my fathers is dear to me. Land of bards (poets) and singers, famous men of renown; Her brave warriors, patriots, For freedom shed their blood.

Chorus: Country, Country, (HOMELAND conveys the sentiment more accurately) I am true to my country. While the sea is a wall to the pure, most loved land,
O may the old language endure.

IN THE SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS...THE SOUTH AFRICAN ANTHEM..
