Deja vu! Last year Gavin Henson, this year Garth Thomas. Yep, that’s right, one of our top flight lads is out for 4 weeks due to bad behaviour. Apparently he couldn’t keep himself to himself with rowdy fans. Sadly, BBC reports it is his last Six Nations so it’s something of a personal loss too, I should imagine.

Nonetheless, and in spite of injuries to two of our best, this weekend’s opening match should be a good one with Wales offering up a strong team against Ireland:

Team: K Morgan (Dragons); H Luscombe (Harlequins), J Robinson (Blues), J Hook (Ospreys), C Czekaj (Blues); S Jones (Scarlets, capt), D Peel (Scarlets); G Jenkins (Blues), R Thomas (Blues), C Horsman (Worcester), I Gough (Dragons), A Wyn Jones (Ospreys), A Popham (Scarlets), M Williams (Blues), R Jones (Ospreys).

Replacements: M Rees (Scarlets), Duncan Jones (Ospreys), R Sidoli (Blues), Gavin Thomas (Scarlets), M Phillips (Blues), C Sweeney (Dragons), AN Other.
