Brilliant, you can use smileys and you found a typo. Shame you didn't read carefully enough; I said 'from' Pontypridd, not 'in'. There is no way I'd have ever live in such a doghole as that. Going west across the Pennines is bad enough, I could risk exposing myself to ideas of the non-flat cap variety.

Really.?
100 caps for wales.
was top try scorer for wales before shane took over.
captained lions in 2005.
Captain of wales during 2005 grand slam.
Won european cup with toulose in 2005.
Only player in europe to win euro cup and grand slam in same season.. ever.
Great leader been captain of most clubs/ teams he has played for.
Outstanding athelte with great strenght and good top end speed.
Granted his bestest years might have past BUT he is in great atheltic shape, seems to have bulked up a lot. And has been in very good form for the blues this season.
He shall easily be the most well known and most experienced player in the squad.
I fully expect ALF to make a big impact for the crusaders both on the pitch, coaching and commercially.!
Come on Alfie.!!

| Doubt Alfie would do too much to boost attendances in the North. If the club was still in the South, it could have provided the boost that the club would have needed, but the people of Wrexham seem to be willing enough to turn up anyway, and unlike in the South the majority of proper Union fans in the North seem fairly anti-league so I doubt would be swayed.

Saw the whole 80 mins. Kicks to touch and then a 90 sec wait while they set up for a lineout. International hookers struggling to trow a ball in straight at a lineout! One scrum took over 3 minutes to set up and eventually get played. Rucks/mauls with the ball ready to play but dimwit 9s wait an age and the game is at a stanstill. occassionally some pot bellied prop would pick up the ball run 2 metres and fall to the floor.
The bit at the end when the ball was moved quickly through hands (and wales could not do the usual boring RU rucks and mauls as time was short) + with fewer players on the pitch was indeed more exciting. As a RL fan I see that every week.
The match was a mediocre game in terms of athleticism and skill with a fight back at the end. A bit of excitement..yes. Best 5 mins of rugby ever

| Im not having a pop. Just pointing out to some peoples perspective of Union on here. Yes your correct if you say england and ireland play an awful brand of rugby. But dont tarnish other teams with the same brush. Union teams such as Wales, France and OZ play a very attacking, attractive brand of rugby.
So to answer the questin are you convinced union want to score tries. Then in regards to Wales yes. And when in the right frame of mind can be one of the most devastating teams in the world ala the last 5 mins last saturday and the 2 recent grand slams.
I like both codes of rugby and they are both have there pros and cons. 2 very enjoyable sports.
Alfie can be a hit with the Cru, he is all passion a 100%. And i dont think he would of considered going if he didnt think he could make an impact.
I say play him in the , and he could do some damage.

Seriously - I would struggle to name a current Wales RU player beyond Gavin Henson - and that's probably only because of his Mrs. I can't name any current Scotland or France RU international players. Quick straw poll of my office in Cambridge, filled with 20 and 30something blokes who mostly play some kind of sport- no-one else can either. I doubt any of them could name an RL player too, though.
