Now for WALES

One of my All-Time Welsh Favourites

Even if you do not speak Welsh, this is a "hair standing up on your neck" song.
Written by the late great Ryan Davies


This is the literal translation in English....

When The Night Is Long
When the night is long
and the dawn is far away
Battling through the long hours
without an hour’s sleep

Fighting, tossing and turning
through the great, long hours
Without seeing the close of yesterday
nor the end of my journey

Then through the black darkness
I see your face
I remember the romance
the eyelid closes
When the night is long.

Then through the black darkness
I see your face
Fear and terror vanish away
When the night becomes day.

RIP SERU RABENI <3

Good Afternoon Rugby Fans Everywhere :-) :-) :-)


GOOD AFTERNOON WALES :-D :-D ...
..... Your team has been announced, so here is your team v Italy, and DAN LYDIATE takes over as CAPTAIN!


WALES <3

Backs:
15. Liam Williams
14. George North
13. Jonathan Davies
12. Jamie Roberts
11. Hallam Amos
10. Dan Biggar
9. Rhys Webb

Forwards:
1. Rob Evans
2. Scott Baldwin
3. Samson Lee
4. Bradley Davies
5. Luke Charteris
6. Dan Lydiate (Captain)
7. Justin Tipuric
8. Taulupe Faletau

Replacements:
16. Ken Owens
17. Gethin Jenkins
18. Tomas Francis / Aaron Jarvis *
19. Jake Ball
20. Ross Moriarty
21. Gareth Davies
22. Rhys Priestland
23. Gareth Anscombe


*Tomas Francis is named, subject to outcome of disciplinary hearing.


CHANGES

*Wales Fans watched in horror as their Captain, SAM WARBURTON, was knocked out during the England v Wales game on Saturday!
He was subsequently stretchered off on a trolley, but gave the "Thumbs Up" sign to put his family, friends and fans minds at rest!

TAKING HIS PLACE AS CAPTAIN IS DAN LYDIATE (6)


* ALEX CUTHBERT does not have a place this time.

*GEORGE NORTH switches from Left Wing to Alex' Right Wing position (14) and young HALLAM AMOS (Dragons) comes in at Left Wing (11).



*RHYS WEBB (Ospreys) who made his return as a replacement in the England v Wales game following the horrific injury in the RWC, regains his first choice position as SCRUM-HALF (9).

*GARETH DAVIES (Scarlets) who took Rhys' place, is back on the replacement bench. However, it must be said that Gareth had a fantastic World Cup, and has played brilliantly during the Six Nations this year.


Notable Absence...
*ALUN-WYN JONES has not been included either to start or as a replacement:-0 :-0
OH wont be pleased! :-(
*LUKE CHARTERIS takes his place.


*JUSTIN TIPURIC replaces the injured Sam Warburton at number 7.

*GETHIN JENKINS is back on the bench as a replacement Prop, instead of PAUL JAMES.

Other additions to the Replacement bench are JAKE BALL and ROSS MORIARTY.
AARON JARVIS may take TOMAS FRANCIS' position as Tighthead Prop replacement if a disciplinary case against Francis is proven.
