I don’t always agree with you,but I love your mostly possessive attitude towards the goal, Which is the best Welsh 15 /23. Keep going Massive respect 🏴❤️✅
Thank you Tony, very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching and staying subscribed. Lets hope I'm right about some of these guys
Feyi-waboso, Morgan Morris , Lloyd , Definitely need to be in the training squad atleast for the 6 nation. Im hopeing we dont lose Feyi-waboso to England we cant let talent like him slip though our fingers.
Yeah I agree mate. Get him in and get him involved. I think we may see him in maybe the Italy game or something to insure he gets a cap 😬
Great video thanks man i appreciate it.
Thanks Gareth. I really approached you watching and supporting the channel for so long 👍🏼
@@TheWelshSportsPodcast it's been my absolute pleasure you've got a great channel I've really enjoyed watching and learned a lot as well. And who knows maybe I'll get see of the guys in this video when me and the missus fly out from Canada to watch Wales v France on March 10th for this year's Six Nations. 😃
Thanks mate. That means a lot, it really does! Yeah you never know. If you recognise me don’t hesitate to spot me 👌🏼
How come you live out in Canada then?
@@TheWelshSportsPodcast nice hopefully I'll see there. I'm Canadian actually my Welsh grandfather got me into rugby when I was a kid back in the the 80s and I've been a tad obsessed with it ever since haha. My wife's from the states and she a tad obsessed with rugby as well now lol. After Wales v Italy on the 17th in Cardiff we are go to the south of France for a couple months and watch as many Top 14 and Pro D2 games as we can. Should be fun.
Ahhh right that’s so cool. You’ve witnessed some of the good times and lots of the bad times then 😬😂 Do you visit Europe much then? Sounds like you have a great trip planned!
Feyi-Waboso has also played outside centre, so that's an option too
Yeah the more options the better I guess. Useful in a squad situation
Love the video and stuff as always mate!!! Great work!!!
Just curious what your Wales 23 for the 6 Nations would be right now given all of the injuries and retirements and selection headaches. A few positions for me are nailed on and a few I have no idea who I'd pick 🤷♂
Cheers Jonathon 👌🏼
Wow that’s quite a tough one. I think I would go with close to the WC starting team, probably
G.Thomas
Lake(c)
Francis
D.Jenkins
W.Rowlands
A.Mann (out there choice I know)
Reffell
Wainwright
Davies
Costelow
Dyer
Tompkins
North
Grady
Zammit
Domachowski
Dee
Aseratti
Beard
Faletau
T.Williams
I.Lloyd
Feyi-Waboso (I would want to get him capped)
Taking it for granted that Adams is still injured or he replaces Feyi-Waboso on the bench (taking it for granted that Feyi-Waboso is in the squad 😂)
It could change depending on these European games and how much rugby Faletau has but that’s it right now I think 🤷🏻♂️What’s your thoughts?
That's very close to the team I had in my head given the injuries/suspensions/lack of game time or form.
1 Thomas
2 Lake (c)
3 Francis
4 Jenkins
5 Rowlands
6 ????? (got no problem at all with Mann or even look at Keddie/Botham/Macleod)
7 Reffell
8 Wainwright
9 Davies
10 Costelow
11 Dyer/Adams (whoever is fit)
12 Tompkins
13 North
14 Grady/Feyi-Waboso (if he's selected)
15 Zammit
16 ????? (take your pick of Dee, Roberts, Parry, Elias, whoever is fit/in form)
17 Domachowski (or Carré if Gatland has got over the fitness thing or possibly Nicky Smith/Mathias)
18 Assiratti (maybe Wainwright)
19 Beard (Fender maybe worth a look)
20 ????? (probably Faletau or any of the above or try a young guy)
21 Williams
22 Lloyd
23 ????? (one of the wing options Adams, Grady, Feyi-Waboso)
Would love to see people like Keiran Williams, Mackenzie Martin, Ben Thomas, Max Llewellyn, Teddy Williams, Morgan Morse, Harri Deaves, Dan Edwards, Joe Roberts, Aneurin Owen sprinkled in somewhere or at least in a larger training camp.
I really don't know what to think of this whole Feyi-Waboso thing either so who knows where that will go.
The only people I hope not to see are Owen Williams (who hasn't convinced me at 10 at all), Sheedy (who never convinced me full stop) or Basham (until he gets his head straight, cos right now he's a walking card/penalty machine)
I agree with pretty much everything you said. I like your team. Slightly worrying there’s no stand out at 6. Unless Toby is match fit that Wainwright obvs goes there. Basham would have been my choice post WC but like you said he’s been terrible this year. Not sure what’s going on there. I guess the exciting bit is there’s lots of new young players with opportunities. The worrying thing is the lack of stand out candidates in some spots 1/3/6/10 ?
Yeah 6 was the one position that completely stumped me, which I guess explains the Rhys Ruddock rumours!!! Toby solves the issues if hes fit but hes aging, injury prone and has no match fitness so who knows. Although some of the young back rowers coming through like Deaves, Mann, Martin, Morse, Morris etc along with Wainwright, Morgan, Reffell solve those issues long term.
10 is hopefully solved long term with people like Costelow, Lloyd, Edwards, Reed etc
The front 5 is always an issue. People like Fender, Jenkins, Tshiunza, Beard, Davies, Carter should be the second row choices for the next few years but props is not an area of strength at all. Beyond Carre, Francis, Thomas, Assirati, Domachowski, Brown (?), S Wainwright (?), Mathias (?) who is there even in the picture? Players like Tom Botha, Willgriff John, Wyn Jones, Samson Lee have either never had much chance or come and gone. I secretly had hopes for Joe Jones being a success as a TH prop whos played in France and England but not seen much of him at Scarlets
Yeah prop worries me. Outside of Asserati I’ve not really seen much that gets my that excited about any off them. I wouldn’t pick any front row from the scarlets. Their biggest issue if you ask me and Matthias and Harry O’Connor who Gatland gave both a change last year haven’t been great. I don’t think I’ve seen a game where Matthias has been tuck up and scum time tbh. I get he’s young but 🤷🏻♂️
Gutted for Morgan Morris, don't know what else he has to do, really consistent player too,, it's worrying our lack of Fullback choices, be interesting to see if Gatland starts with Josh Adams there...we have to scrap this 25 cap rule, we haven't got the depth for it...
Yeah same. If he can’t get into this squad with all of the unavailable players I guess he’s never getting in. Obvs Gats sees something he doesn’t like with him.
Yeah I agree about 15. No stand out candidate. I would go with Adams and out Grady on the wing. Also really like Can Winnet but he’s not gonna be available for the first couple of games apparently 🤷🏻♂️
When people make predictions of future players coming into the team. They should also make predictions who should make way for them. Its much harder to do when you have to name who your going to drop.
Fair point. There’s a lot of players who will be out of the squad this year due to retiring leaving Wales for other leagues and injuries. That leaves a lot of vacant spots.
I did touch on positions that needed filling in the video 🤷🏻♂️ and you can have up to 42 players in a 6N squad so most players will be missing out due to the above reasons
I think the only way welsh rugby can be competitive is to ditch the 25 cap rule. Let our best players go to England or France for big money in their prime. And experienced players a little passed their best bringing through the youth. It frees up a lot of money. Financially welsh teams cannot compete with English and French teams.
Yeah I completely agree with you mate. It’s something I’ve spoken about before on the channel. Not only do the other teams pay their big wages but they get to play at the high levels so there gaining new skills too(unless like a few who have gone to French D2) I couldn’t agree with you more
You only need to look at the young players who’ve taken their chance this season to see that it can work. Although I think we have to be careful to not let the regions finish bottom on the league every year 😬
I’ve been pretty down in the dumps about the lack of quality young guys coming through. But your insights give me hope! It’ll be an interesting squad selection for sure!
I’m still holding hope that Cameron Hanekom will be named. But I highly doubt it.
Feyi waboso is a MUST. We can’t leave him to mature for another year or so and let England get their foot in the door.
I like the look of Joe Roberts at centre.
Mason Grady hasn’t impressed me at centre yet. Is there room for him on the wing?…. I would say Rio dyer, Josh Adam’s, LRZ, Feyi Waboso are all potentially ahead of him.
Fly half is the most interesting position for me. I imagine he will pick costelow and Owen Williams and maybe someone else. Neither have impressed IMO. I’m really hoping for a left-field, unexpected flyhalf in the squad announcement.
Hi mate. Yeah I get it. The regions aren’t doing great really but there’s a lot of young players to be excited about playing at a high standard. As for Hanekom I think if it was happening we would have heard something by now but I dunno
Yeah Feyi Waboso has to be involved just to get him capped if nothing else but I think Grady could be ahead of hun for a wing spot. The guys been on fire this year and Gats clearly likes him so I dunno
You’re right though 10 is the issue. I think he will trust Costello (which would be my choice) but I think Sheedy and Lloyd will be in with a shout too. Owen Williams hasn’t played much or impressed this year either
Really enjoyed this,. I think Gatland will have a look at James Fender too as he looks quality. Agree about TUipolotu- I think WalesOnline just gt overexcited about some of his schoolboy highlights
Cheers Sion. Yeah that’s a really good shout actually I missed that one. He’s been really constant in his opportunities this year. Hopefully he continues to improve. There’s a few good young 2nd rows coming behind Rowlands and Beard
Yeah you’re so right 😂
Should basically just pick as many Ospreys as possible.
Fair shout
The challenge for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is that playing for Exeter, if he goes to Wales over England, he's going to have to move clubs to get selected consistently... Given his experience at Wasps, he's unlikely to change now that he's established himself at the club. However, he's really played very little rugby at that level yet...
I take your point Sim but I have to disagree slightly. Look at LRZ. He’s been in Gloucester his whole international career and I would say he’s one one the first names on the team sheet now.
I do agree he needs more experience but I think we should bring him in now and get him locked in to Wales then see how he progresses?
@@TheWelshSportsPodcasthe will have to change clubs to get capped ( by wales )though ? That’s the point so unlikely to move after bad time with Wasps collapse
@@TheWelshSportsPodcast yeah spot on. Daf Jenkins as well. I hate to say it but I think Exeter is a better option for their development than any of the regions. I'd even like to see someone like Wainwright go to Bristol as is being reported as I think his game will go up another level which it has the potential to
@TimMoss no I think because he hasn’t been capped yet he’s available for selection. My understanding is that if your capped but under 25 caps and play for a region, if you then leave you can be selected for Wales but if you’re already outside of Wales before you’re capped you can get selected
i think joe roberts is looking like north's replacement hes a natural 13 reminds me of a mini ringrose.
Yeah that’s a fair opinion and a good comp. I like him too. Would like to see him get a run of games. Will be interested to see how North goes in this 6N. Been poor for the ospreys I’m recent times
Hi Mate, some good up and coming players in the pipe line, I hope Warren get's one of his head ache's again. some good players like ,Osprey's Harry Deeve's , Morgan Morris and Rubin Morgan-Williams and Alex Mann of Cardiff, but we need to get before the English do is Immanuel Feyi-Waboso hes got to come to Wales like I said before "get him Warren" before Steve Borthwick dose, It's only a mouth away for the 6N. Catch you soon Take care🏉🏉🏉👍👍
Happy new year Shaun
Yeah lots of good of good players on the way. Really impressed how some of these guys have stepped up this year. Let’s hope it starts contributing to some wins at regional level and international level!
Yeah Get him in! Can leave a player like that floating out there for England to snap up, they’ve wasted enough talents 😂
Catch you soon fella 🏴
The way thing are, World Rugby will see an end to International Football. With people choosing their nationality or switching it from one country to another, what is the point in it. As it stands, the only country that can claim to have national team is South Africa. And if you take all the South Africans out of the Six Nations, you will have a South African B team… or possibly a veteran’s team.
I get why imanual f-w would reject wales. He studied at Hartpury and cardiff refused to give him a uni place. The lad might be born in cardiff but it appears the city/nation hasnt supported his rugby, education or personal development.
Id do the same, if i was in that position 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah totally fair Point. Also realistically the WRU could have made a special concession as he’s in UNI but that would have just been to simple for them to do by the looks of it 😂
Annoying but good luck to him
I think Warren will stick with the same players that were in the rugby world cup and build from there.
Yeah I agree largely. Few players have left now though or retired and 6N is a bigger squad so I think we could see some new young faces in the set up 💪🏼
Feyi-Waboso choose England unfortunately. we are losing out with this cap nonsense it may work for New Zealand and other country's, but with are small population we need every player we can get. 😭didn't help that Cardiff university turned him away to :(
The comments I made did age well then. Oh dear 😂 The 25 cap rule steals anther young piratical star from Wales. It’s actually embarrassing at this point 🤷🏻♂️
Morgan Morris is to small, if we picked what your suggesting we'd have a back row all under 6 ft , they'd get murdered, cmon wake up
What was the specific back row I picked? I was only suggesting players to make the squad. Wainwright is 6”2 btw
@TheWelshSportsPodcast yeah I'd perhaps give morgan a go against Italy. That mackenzie Martin for the blues would be a shout
Just like Justin Tipuric was too small. We can’t put what we’ve got under glass, you know. Different sport and all that, but it’s worthwhile remembering that Mike Tyson was under 6 ft. I can’t remember anyone suggesting that he was too small.
Wales aren't thinking of picking some players from Wales are they?. Thought they only went for English players
We have a small player pool my friend. We have to take who ever we can get
Because no other NH sides pick 'foreign' players 🙄
@lonederanger2603 So true mate 😂
