Couldn't agree more. I saw that Aled Brew is only 24 on the scrumV site? I thought he was in his 30's? Perhaps I've been mistaking him for his brother.
I've never really liked him for Wales but In the Barbarians game I though he looked awesome, the way he scored that try off the back of a 2 metre ruck by hitting the line at full tilt...... and he's a hard hitter in the tackle too, I'd fancy seeing a North, Brew wing combo at some point this summer.
He's just the sort of hard runner we need, he's reminding me of a young Shane Williams at the moment, popping up where the opposition don't expect and scoring some really excellent tries. I think that Barbarians performance will lead to better things for him in the Wales set up (no more yellows please though Aled, good lad ).
As for Faletau, he's my 1st choice No.8 for Wales by a mile.
Yeah he could well be 24 - I would have guessed that he was a couple of years older but I wouldn't be surprised if he was only 24. His first cap was 2007 wasn't it? Truth be told I have been skeptical about him on the international scene, but didn't do much wrong in the Fiji game this year, and really shone in the Baa Baas game.
Likewise glad to see Faletau didn't disappoint with his showing too.
I'm not saying we are producing world beaters at the Dave, but these two boys have kept their heads down when others in the Wales squad have shamed themselves publicly, and these two have played to their best at every opportunity given on the regional and international scene.
Well done boys
