Wales Rugby Team should be wary of Australia

Alex Cuthbert has made his way back into the Wales Rugby Team and has declared that he cannot wait to get onto the pitch once again and give the Australians a run for their money.

And the 23 year old is looking forward to renewing his old acquaintance with the Wallabies when they take on the team from Down Under at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. The youngster was on the sidelines for almost the last couple of months, having suffered a hairline fracture on his ankle which forced him to miss out on his country’s autumn international matches against Argentina, South Africa and Tonga.

Cuthbert was a part of the British and Irish Lions side that toured Australia in the summer under Warren Gatland, the current manager of the Welsh team.

And according to the wing player for the Cardiff Blues, the adrenalin and the rush of playing in the packed Millennium Stadium once again in front of the screaming home fans is the only things on his mind at the moment, adding that he cannot wait to get back onto the pitch to take on one of the best sides in international rugby at the moment and put up a great performance for the Wales Rugby Team.

Although Cuthbert got his name on try list in Australia for the Lions, the Welsh team has a horrific record against the Wallabies, having lost the last eight of their encounters by a significant margin as well.

And Gatland mentioned that this Australian team is completely different from the one the Liones faced Down Under and he mentioned that the Wales Rugby Team will need to wary about the threats they pose, otherwise they will be in for quite a handful when the two teams come face to face on Saturday.

Wales Rugby Team

Former rugby great Ryan Jones, who was a big gun in the Wales rugby team, has joined a law firm. This is part of an initiative which helps retired rugby players look for alternate sources of income, and join new jobs, after they have come out of the world of rugby. He has joined a Cardiff law firm, and he will be there for the next year on a part time basis, where he will be trained, and he will gain business knowledge and how things work, and after that he will be taking up a job at a law firm for good, which will see him through the rest of his working life. This placement has been made in accordance with an agreement with the Athlete Career Transition. This company helps all players who have retired from the sport, and helps them find a secure footing in some other sphere of life, which will help them reach the  highest limits and secure their future. They basically help retired players with this transition from the world of rugby to the world of the regular working man’s life.

Ryan Jones has contributed a great deal to the Wales rugby team during his hey days. But now, it is time for him to move on, and shine again somewhere else, other than a rugby pitch. The business development team at the law firm will help him to gather hands on experience, and provide him with practical skills which will help him overcome all hurdles that are normal in the law world. The Wales rugby team has seen some of the best players ever when it comes to rugby, and this initiate is sure to help many players such as Jones to take up other sources of livelihood, and start new chapters in their lives.
