Wales coach Gareth Jenkins admitted on Wednesday there can be no more excuses as his misfiring team arrived for the World Cup.
The Welsh squad have set up camp at their Brittany base in Pornichet, near St. Nazaire, ahead of their first game in the tournament against Canada tomorrow.
But having managed just two wins from their last 12 Tests, under-fire coach Jenkins knows it is time for his toothless dragons to show their bite.
Jenkins said: "We have a very excited group of players who are in good shape and have a fantastic appetite to do well in this competition, but now it's about playing."
"The World Cup is all about producing performances and most of all results. We've been clear from the start that we had a process we were working to in order to peak at this World Cup. I felt we followed that path but now the time has arrived to produce something to be proud of," he said.
Some 2,000 locals watched Jenkins put his Wales squad through their paces in France before naming his squad on Thursday for the opening Pool B game.
Gareth Thomas and Stephen Jones took a full part in training following knocks, and the Wales coach said his squad was in good condition.
"We only have one player not taking part in training [Ian Evans] so we have 29 out of 30 players available for selection, which is probably the best position we've been in all summer," Jones said.
HSIEH ADVANCES: In the women’s doubles, Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei was to play in the second round last night, but Taiwan’s Ray Ho exited in the men’s doubles It is more than 10 years since Grigor Dimitrov reached his sole Wimbledon semi-final and back then it still seemed a reasonable bet that the Bulgarian once dubbed “Baby Federer” would win a Grand Slam title. There were semi-final runs at the US Open and Australian Open after that, but it has never quite happened and despite him still being ranked No. 21, it most likely never will. Dimitrov, 34, remains one of the most stylish players on the circuit though, with his elegant single-handed backhand and smooth all-court game a rare reminder of how tennis was before the power merchants turned
Spain are the favorites to win the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, but star player Aitana Bonmati’s illness ahead of the tournament raises another question mark around a side which, despite their obvious quality, are not unstoppable. Having claimed the last two Ballon d’Or awards, Barcelona midfielder Bonmati is the game’s biggest star at present, so her absence in the final days before the start of Euro 2025 is a major setback. The 27-year-old came down with a fever in training last week, and was subsequently hospitalized and diagnosed with viral meningitis. Bonmati was discharged on Sunday and joined up with
TAIWANESE WIN: Chan Hao-ching and Wu Fang-hsien and their partners won their first-round matches in the women’s doubles at the All England Lawn Tennis Club Late-night finishes and five-set matches are becoming a habit for Taylor Fritz at Wimbledon this year. On Wednesday, he wrapped up his win over Gabriel Diallo before the match was suspended — making sure the fifth-seeded American would not have to come back on court for a fourth straight day. Fritz overcame a bloodied elbow to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/0), 4-6, 6-3 on No. 1 Court a day after he finished off another five-set win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in a match that was halted on Monday at about 10:15pm after Fritz forced a fifth set with Wimbledon’s 11pm curfew looming. He
Real Madrid’s FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund had taken three crazy turns during nine minutes of second-half stoppage time when Marcel Sabitzer chested the ball and sent a right-footed volley toward Thibaut Courtois’ post. Courtois leapt to his right, extended the long arm on his 2m frame and just managed to get his gloved fingertips on the ball, knocking it down. Courtois hit the ground as the ball bounded up. He looked skyward, planted his right hand to regain his balance, grabbed the ball with both hands on the second bounce and fell onto it with his chest. Sabitzer turned
