General Chat

ooooooo a great interception kick from Wales almost led to a Try but ball went out of play before their Winger could get it

England U20s gain a penalty through Wales U20s not rolling away

and it's 3 ~ 0 to England Unders

Wales' Fly Half DAN JONES kicks off this important game

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR LEIGH? <3


All of Wales were shocked and saddened when Wales Favourite and phenomenal kicker, Leigh Halfpenny, was badly injured during the World Cup Warm Up Games.

It was the last Warm Up Game before the World Cup Proper, during the Wales v Italy game, that Leigh suffered a serious knee injury and so injured out of the World Cup 2015!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bNDAgK-RHU

This was the same game that saw the last of the World Cup for Rhys Webb also, as he too got badly injured.



SO HOW'S LEIGH DOING NOW? :-)

Well, Our Leigh has been training hard to get fit so he can be recalled for his beloved Wales!

During the last Wales Six Nations Game v France just over a week ago, while Wales were beating the French, here's what our Leigh was doing in the Millennium Stadium

LOOOOKING GOOOOOD, LEIGH! <3


EAT YOUR HEART OUT, OUR FLY! ;-) ;-) <3
