SCOTLAND NEWS

GLASGOW WARRIORS RECALLED

Alex Dunbar, Henry Pyrgos and Fraser Brown have been called up to the Scotland squad.

Matt Scott is an injury doubt.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35746204

RHYS WEBB RECALLED TO WALES SQUAD

Wales' 1st Choice Scrum-Half, who sustained an horrific injury during the Rugby World Cup Warm Up Games, has now recovered.

27 year old Rhys rejoined the rest of the Wales Squad this morning!

Rhys, who partners DAN BIGGAR in both the Wales team and their club The OSPREYS, make a formidable duo!

Such was Rhys' skill, that he replaced MIKE PHILLIPS to the top Scrum-Half position.
Mike has since retired from International Rugby.


However, Scarlets GARETH DAVIES is hot on his heels!

Gareth, who replaced Rhys, had an excellent World Cup!
He scored the Try, excellently chipped to him by another Scrum-Half LLOYD WILLIAMS, who was playing Left Winger due to prolific injuries of Wales Players, that contributed hugely to Wales' victory over England in the World Cup last year!

GOOD NEWS ABOUT RHYS WEBB! :-)


Wales and Ospreys First Choice Scrum-Half (9) Rhys Webb, was injured out of the World Cup, and then injured again in his first game back in February, when his Club played the Irish team, Munster.

The hopes that Rhys would be recalled to the Wales Squad to play v France last weekend were dashed!

Rhys was sufficiently recovered not only to Captain the Ospreys versus Leinster today, but Rhys also played excellently for the whole of the game!

This bodes well for Rhys' return to the Wales Camp :-) :-) :-)

Good Evening to All Rugby Fans looking in on Radio Jem :-) :-) :-)


There were some serious incidents during Round 3 games at the weekend


ENGLAND v IRELAND

ENGLAND'S FULL-BACK MIKE BROWN ESCAPES CITING!

During the England v Ireland Game, there was an incident where Mike Brown booted Ireland Scrum-Half CONOR MURRAY in the face, while Conor was on the ground and everyone was rucking for the ball.
This resulted in Conor Murray having to leave the field and receive stitches.


HERE IS THE INCIDENT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgGvvogUaLA


The Referee, Romain Poite took no action at the time.

Personally, I do not believe it was intentional, but in my opinion, it was reckless!

The Citing Commissioner has decided that it was unintentional, and so (unfortunately for us Welsh ;-) ;-) :-D) Mike will be available to play for England in their next game v Wales!!!

Here is the full story
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35691235



ITALY V SCOTLAND

Another incided involved Italy's MARTIN CASTROGIOVANNI during Scotland's 36-20 victory over Italy in Stadio Olimpico.

Castrogiovanni, who has been cited for allegedly stamping on Scotland's DUNCAN TAYLOR's head, will attend a disciplinary meeting on Wednesday.


HERE IS THE STORY-

Thankyou Kandj :-) <3

I enjoy watching our Under 20s playing.
I try to spot the next star players of our Wales Team Proper, as well of those other national teams.

ONE WALES KICKER OF THE FUTURE!...

Watch this youngster, who had his debut for the Wales Under 20s in their 2nd Game v Scotland Unders

BILLY McBRYDE

He is one to watch for the future!
An excellent kicker, Billy is the son of Wales Seniors Coach ROBIN McBRYDE.


He took over the kicking duties from DAN JONES in his debut 2 weeks ago, as Dan was having a bad day!
Billy excelled, and was chosen to Start for Wales Under 20s last night, and was still there scoring goals until the end!


WELL DONE BILLY McBRYDE!

He was also chosen as MAN OF THE MATCH!


Look out Leigh Halfpenny<3 and Dan Biggar<3 ! ;-) :-D :-D :-D



THE UNDER 20s ROUND 3 RESULTS AND TABLE POSITIONS UP NEXT!

An excellent result for the young Welsh rugby players Jem, you must be thrilled.

I hope you can rest and relax today, you must be shattered after a busy Fri/Sat.
