This is the last time they are doing the draw years in advance, it will be within 12 months of the competition start date in future. Wales were one of the top 4 seeds when the draw was made, they may not be in the top 8 in the world when the world cup comes around.

Itā€™ll only include another six nations and another summer tour then wouldnā€™t it?

Iā€™m flying in and out. Iā€™ll be there arc weekend and the boks game. Potentially the Q/fs too all going well.

165

Will you go for the semi finals?

166

Iā€™d severely doubt it. Iā€™d roll the big dice and hold out for the final. If we win a World Cup semi final no matter where Iā€™ll be itā€™ll be a great day.

With the train system around Western Europe you could do it cheap enough if you really wanted to. Eurostar from London/Amsterdam/Brusselā€™s over and back. Sleep on the train home

Theyā€™ve trips booked on the return leg of those migrant ships.

Theyā€™re building boats as we speak.

itā€™s an unbelievably bad stat considering weā€™re always rated in top 8 teamsā€¦ weā€™ve never managed to better one of the other 7 at the business end of the most prestigious tournament in the game ā€¦ I think Faz will have us in great spot for next World Cup ā€¦

173

Na Iā€™m fairly sure we 9th one year.

I could be wrong but I thought we dropped to 9. Hopefully it changes anyway. It would be some lift to the country.

Weā€™d a qualifier against Russia one year I think. Vaguely recall Keith wood captain at the time I think?

Are Ireland favourites for this after beating NZ recently?

179

Was that before the Ill fated 2007 World Cup?
Had a training camp in Poland where the team did very little skills training at all just bulked up for a month and were woeful when it came to playing?

Think so, yeah
