The indiscretions of the Ospreys coaching team may cost Wales dear. Those responsible for fielding the Ospreys full back as part of a 16 man attempt to shut out the Tigers had best stay clear of Messrs Gatland and Edwards. They will miss his big left boot and dominant skill under the high ball for sure. Expect the English to pepper James Hook with aerial bombs - judging from the Saxons against Ireland A at the Bath Rec earlier today, the coaching team has clearly figured that the cross kick/box kick/hail mary is going to be their contribution to the tournament's excitement quotient. Perhaps they're hoping for a richochet off the roof to fox the Welsh back three.
