As something new, I am currently writing this from inside the Millennium Stadium where Wales are set to take on the Barbarians in 45 minutes.
For Wales, it's their first game since beating France in the final 6 Nations game in March. With a three game tour of Australia coming up, they have named a relatively inexperienced side, but one still full of talent. Matthew Rees leads the side, which also contains veterans Alun-Wyn Jones, Ryan Jones, and James Hook. Martyn Williams is also in line to get his 100th cap, but starts among the replacements.
The Barbarians field a typically strong team, but one that includes 3 Welsh players: Duncan Jones, Richie Rees, and, playing his last ever competitive match, Shane Williams. Captained by John Smit, and with Mils Muliainia at fullback, they are going to be a tough test for the Welsh boys, even if the final result isn't important.
Dewch ar Cymru!
