I'm looking forward this 6N, it's not so much about results, but performances and player auditions. As others might say, this is all about building towards the RWC. A very young squad which has its critics, but because there's no pressure, I'm hoping that sees them play with some freedom and flair.

Yeah really agree with everything you’re a saying. So many promising young players have emerged this season and I’m looking forward to seeing these guys develop. Though I think wins might be a bit elusive this 6N I don’t see us getting mauled by anyone and like you said. All about the performance 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nice one, Chris. We are in transition and we all know how that goes! Patience and a sense of humour required for the next two seasons, at least! Back to the present and, with all these injuries, I fear a thrashing on Saturday.

Thanks mate. I don’t see a thrashing but I think it’s going to be a few years of growing pains like you said I think we will compete Saturday but no doubt Scots are heavy favourites

Congratulations, Yeh... I'm with you on that one mate, excited but very nervous about Saturday's game, Scotland will come at us all gun's blazing, but saying that the stadium roof will be closed, bring on the 16th player the Welsh crowd, so this is why i'm excited and i'm going to stick with never say never and be positive but still nervous. Let's see on Saturday. Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon, catch you soon take care and all the best🏉👍

Thank you Shaun 👍🏼 Yeah I’m the same. I think Scotland have asked for the roof to be open unfortunately but I think the Wales fans will still make a great atmosphere 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I’m excited to see some of these young guys get a chance

Excited to see the new young players

Look on the bright side, if we scrape past Scotland, could have North and Rowlands back for Twickenham.

@@TheWelshSportsPodcast I'm sure G. Thomas picked up a knock..

We are missing so many quality players its hard to see a Welsh win, it really comes down to how Scotland preform if they hit their straps with a settled side Wales will be in trouble, but how many times have we as fans get it wrong mainly down to Gatland's unearthly knack of getting it right on the night, the team has a look of a summer tour side whilst all the Welsh big guns are on lions duty. We will at the very least sees who stands up at international level, I have to say this will be a hard watch, one thing inexperienced players will have to get used to is speed of play you just don't have the time at this level and one or two could get caught out, good luck boys think were gonna need it.

Really like your point about the look of a summer team while the lions are out. No Doubt a few future Lions lurking in there somewhere though Clive 🤞🏼 Like you though I think Saturday is going to be a real tricky one. I don’t think we will get blown out like you said due to Gats but it’s hard to see a clear pass to a win 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@@TheWelshSportsPodcast I hate not backing Wales but when you think 5 of the pack first choice are missing Jack, Rowland's, Talupe, Francis, and where is he Gareth Thomas, in the backs, wide receiver LRZ Anscombe, North, Williams, that's 9 players out, if Gatland and the boys pull this one off Gats should be knighted, I shall be screaming at the TV and giving my support like a lunatic, we have been here before let's hope it's another one if those occasions.

I think Owen Watkins might be bigger than you think, he is 6ft 2in and 100kgs so that's not a small centre.

Yeah fair point. Not a traditional big ball carrier though I guess is my point. Oust wondering where that punch is going to come from

Far from scared. Start of the rwc cycle, so prepping for 2027. Not ideal circumstances but plenty of quality and hard workers to make wales a difficult side to beat. Only way this tournament is a failure imo is if wales get hammered by every side.
