[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 457148, member: 13739"] What's great from a Welsh perspective is that I think there's alot more to come from this team if a few more players can up their game like they're capable of doing. I don't think we've seen half of what Falatau, Jon Davies, Bradley Davies or Shane are capable of in this campaign for instance, while Gethin Jenkins is still returning from a hugely disrupted year of rugby, and will continue to get better imo. It is nice to have Bennett and Charteris playing so well, two that many Welsh fans thought weren't international class have really stepped up in cruicial positions. Very excited about this tournament, but also hugely excited about the future and how much better this Welsh team can get. There are players to come into this squad if or when they regain some fitness and form. Rees, Hibbard, Ian Evans and Henson are players capable of adding something to the team, even if they're not really needed (well I think Rees is needed). While there's also a whole host of youngsters just waiting to get their chance, and I'm sure all of them will be spurred on by how the youngsters in this squad have been given their chances and are able to compete on the world stage. How long untill Gatland gives someone like Matthew Morgan a go, even if the O's aren't prepared to give him enough gametime ahead of Biggar? He could be good behind a pack such as this. Anyway, looking a little closer. The French are going to bring something very different to the Irish. They have a pack that can compete with anyone, and a set of backs that can rip teams to pieces on their day. I'm confident, but at the same time a little weary of a French team which may well be written off by many people. [/QUOTE]
