Rob howley sent home for betting on the outcome of some aspect of the RWC. Wierd news indeed.
I'm not a betting man but if I was, I'd be the Welsh backs coach.
There is another dedicated thread now to this, some interesting points on there that i do agree with.If he is betting on a game that Wales are not involved in - would it really be wrong?
[or indeed, if he was putting money on Wales to win...?]
I don't see either of those two as really problematic - even though they probably break the word of the law. Its only when a coach or player would be seeking to degrade or limit their own performances where the problems can arise.
Not for a minute am I taking this match for granted. If Russia (RUSSIA) can push Japan, then a motivated well-conditioned Georgia will surely turn up and perform on this kinda stage.
I'm expecting a Wales win by 7(ish)... which I'd take actually.
No disrespect to Georgia, but if we have any proper aims of lifting this trophy then scraping past a pretty limited and one dimensional Georgian team isn't the way to kick it off!
We should be looking to win this game fairly comfortably imo. Georgia have pushed us close in the past, but that tends to be in the AI's when we've got a scratch side out who are full of mistakes. We're almost full strength here, and if Italy can beat Georgia without too much problem we should be looking for at least a 20point margin.
Ideally we're in a healthy lead after half time so that we can pull our key players (Owens, AWJ, Biggar, JD2, Liam).
Georgia going to get mauled
Thought this was on after the England game today, for some reason
