[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 800938, member: 43875"] well there you go, this really is your big chance Wales... Barnes will offset a lot of the home ground advantage. He wont ref like his disaster performance in 07 but what he does do is impose his personality on the game. He interferes with the game, he can become the center of attention and is unpredictable and that can upset the AB's flow. This really is unknown territory for the AB's. The saving grace is really that we have the same coaching setup. That is absolutely key to maintaining continuity after losing what must be 1000 odd test caps experience in key positions. In theory even without those guys we should have a good group of experience there to keep the machine running well but you just never know. [/QUOTE]
