[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1176414, member: 86934"] 8 years?! Jeez I was looking at the squad and some of the talent and hoping wed bounce back in maybe 2 years, ready for some momentum to the next RWC... We have a lot of talent, but none of them have experience. Mathias, Lloyd, Lake, Jenkins, Teddy William's, Basham, Botham, Carter, Fender, Morse, Martin, Mann, Morgan, Tshiunza, Bevan, Llewellyn, Grady, Winnett, Edward's etc all are under 24, and have high potential. Dyer is only 24 too, both Costelow and Lloyd although look useless are 22 also. All of these have had Welsh camp involvement, I think only 4 are uncapped. complimented by the likes of Domachowski, Reffell, Wainwright, Watkin etc who are all 26 or so... By the next RWC these 26 players will all be 20 caps plus better off, and even the holders in their prime. I'm not worried long term, I think plenty of these will step up and be good international players, I AM worried about RWC seeding, and how far down the pecking order we will be by then. Theres no point pulling an Ireland or Scotland, and peaking at the wrong time and failing to go deep into the tournament... [/QUOTE]
