    Wales used to be a punchbag. I don`t like the lot anymore. I wish they could tour SA and be whipped into disaster. They will win the 6N grand slam second tier emo rubbish cup thing this year but surely idiots like Mike Phiiips need to be thumped in the head to realize they punch above their weight.
