Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"How so? I thought Wales did well against England and copped a heavy defeat. A couple of former players are in the press saying they've a chance of winning the game, but I can't see it even getting close to happening.'"
Well, Wales played well last week and probably feel they conceded more than they should. Plus, they'll be pumped up for the match with it being at Wembley.
NZ have all their injuries and have two woeful performances against the Aussies under their belt. Their defence for large portions of last week was lathargic and dreadful. I suppose defeat for the large protion of their team at the NRL Grand Final will effect their approach to this comp; emotionally and mentally it could well have a significant effect.
If Briers and Harris can get their boys up for it and if they can get off on the right foot and maintain pressure I can see them causing the Kiwis some problems. I'm not saying it will happen or is likely to happen, just think there is the possibility of Wales really bothering them. Its the mental aspect; Wales wanting it and NZ not being able to get up for it.
