The very first international I ever got to go to was at the Arms Park, Wales vs Western Samoa in the 1991 World cup. And we know how that turned out. So from that point of view I am very glad we dodged a bullet from our bogey team.

Here we add (another) appeal to have Hook selected as a 10 – he’s got the potential to be world class there, lets not mess him about.
