Not holding out much hope for Wales tomorrow, gloomy from the beeb.

Wales begin their Six Nations title defence on Saturday when they take an injury-hit squad to face Ireland.

The hosts are bidding to defeat Wales in five successive Test matches at home for the first time.

Wales upset the odds in winning a 28th championship in 2021, just missing out on a Grand Slam due to an injury-time defeat in Paris in their final match.

Captain Alun Wyn Jones is one of eight British and Irish Lions missing, an omission of nearly 700 caps.

Ireland, on the other hand, have a near fully-fit squad and come into this contest in excellent form, having won their past eight Tests, including an exhilarating victory over New Zealand during a clean sweep of their autumn fixtures.

I think i'll be watching the game through my fingers

This is Wales' first Six Nations match-day squad missing both Alun Wyn Jones and Ken Owens since 2010.

I mentioned earlier that Wales have been ravaged by injury, and this list of absent British and Irish Lions illustrates the depth of their problems.

Alun Wyn Jones
Ken Owens
Taulupe Faletau
Dan Lydiate
Josh Navidi
Justin Tipuric
George North
Leigh Halfpenny

Add Wales internationals Elliot Dee and Johnny Williams to the mix and you have more than 700 Test caps unavailable because of injury.

The Frogs will win it.

Wales have as much chance as Middlesboro winning the FA Cup.

I fancy Ireland, anyway glad you didn't get arrested for social media crimes against Elanga

Wales getting smashed with less than twenty to go.

Eng looking like they'll take this. That kiddie Marcus Smith looks like a great prospect, one for Katie too, never heard of a Flipa playing rugger, or half of one.

**malmomike77** · 06-02-2022, 01:05 AM

Frenetic

**malmomike77** · 06-02-2022, 01:18 AM

Hilarious, what was that - Eng foking it up - love it

Nothing more satisfying that seeing Jones looking at his team losing

**Reg Dingle** · 06-02-2022, 01:25 AM

Typical England, grasping defeat from the clutches of victory

**malmomike77** · 06-02-2022, 01:31 AM

Wait caller the fat lady is still singing

**malmomike77** · 06-02-2022, 01:42 AM
