Wales have had some world class players, but not recently. Name your greatest Welsh rugby XI of all time?

Tom,
After todays performance, they'd probably play better.

The problem Wales have is that they are constantly living under the shadow of the JPR Williams era.Unfortunately now we are in the professional era nations with more resources (i.e more players ) are almost always going to be ahead of Wales simply because the sport is bigger now and there is more at stake.One ,two or three of the bigger nations will always have a team that is peaking .Realistically I can only see France and maybe Aus challenging NZ for this years World cup ,even Ireland cannot cope with one or 2 injuries .
As for the Wales remaining fixtures in this years 6 nations I think they will be low on confidence as they have not won for so long but with England putting in such a poor performance at Croke pk and Wales having a reasonable game in Paris I think they have a good chance of winning there remaining fixtures .

The invincible team of the 70's JPR Williams,JJ Williams,Gareth Edwards,Barry John..etc..these would get into ANY XV today.
No worries,Wales played well against the Irish and in the first half yesterday.(The Scottish game is best forgotten)I think they will beat Italy easily and also (fingers crossed ) England.
Thanks jizzumonk..that really cheered me up..I can't get enough of Scott Gibbs' winning try v England either.

I think i speak for many Welsh people when i say, who cares about this campaign lets just smash England and try to build for the future. In Hook we have a up and coming world star
