Welsh Rugby

I've been an avid follower of the current World Cup in New Zealand and have been very impressed with the new players in the Wales squad. The captain, number 8 Sam Warburton, has been immense in this tournament and he and the whole squad have won a lot of respect from the Rugby-wise New Zealenders (not known for being easily impressed!). There's not a lot further to be said about Warburton's sending off in the semi-final and subsequent three week ban. Anyway, here's a quick caricature of him...



I couldn't resist having a crack at a caricature of the Wales defence coach and ex Rugby League supremo, Shaun Edwards, who seems to have instilled a tough defensive attitude amongst the squad. When asked if his attitude was too tough and that surely he wouldn't expect his boys to carry on if they were seriously injured he replied something along the lines of "Well, no, if they had a broken leg or something obvioulsy.....but I'd still expect them to get up and make the tackle!" That's the mind-set he's given them.....
