I was born and brought up in England by a fiercely proud Welshman who has passed that pride on to me. I’m proud of you boys – BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES!
Give ’em hell

Well Boys, there were just the four of us in Moondyne Joes Bar in Fremantle Western Australia, all expats and all wearing our colours with pride, not exactly a sea of red, however we made up for that with the noise level. Well done for the win over Tonga. Take it too the Italians and give them heaps. Wyn Lewis(Behind You all the way) Wyn Lewis

And this one comes from a very passionate Welshman, a man we have heard form before, Mr. Robert Evans…
Italy are going to want to XXXX XXX over us, what we’ve got to do is get it into our mindset is that whatever they throw at us we will return tenfold,(same with every game) get yourselves psyched up for this game, if it all has sounded a little confusing then bear with me as I’m applying all the principles I’ve mentioned into my life after a harrowing 14 years of my life, and my paranoia can rub off onto other people, concentrate on the dynamic and positive. keep in front of you every day words like Positive, Success, Confidence, Relaxed so that we see them many times a day and our brains absorb the words and our actions become. Dynamic, Efficient, Perfect, Determined, Substantial, Reliable, Improvise, Launch, Execute, Exceed, Excellence etc etc.
Only those that risk going too far can possibly know how far they can really go.

And another one from the, erm, passionate Mr Evans…
Right then guys, lets lay the cards on the table, Italy are going to come after us like a hungry pack of rottweilers, there going to throw everything at us, there going to go flat out for the full 80 minutes, there going to be even hungrier than Tonga, what are we going to do about it? we can all appear to be a soft touch at times and even delirious and insane but when you get on that pitch you’ve all got to be tenacious in attack and defense, we’ve got to give 140%, we can’t wait for opportunities to arise, we’ve got to go out there and tear them apart, make our own opportunities; psyched up to the point where we could even be called psycho’s, nutters, clean off etc, I’ve been called all these by people in my time but I know I’m one of the nicest guys around, I’m sorry to say that we haven’t quite got that killer instinct, this is the world cup, we get one chance at this every four years, how hungry are you for it?, not only have we got to gel as a team but we’ve got to !
Be unstoppable, mindset of ‘ no ones ever going to beat us ever again, it’s impossible, no team will ever come close to beating us ever again, Tonga had a lucky break and caught us off guard, no one though will ever beat us ever again.’ guys you’ve got to think like warriors, no man ever survived a battle to death where he went in thinking, I’ll do my best and see how I get on
I suggest that the players and coach and management all sit down and watch one of my favourite films, funnily enough it’s Australian and based on a true aussie character, its not for the squeamish but it is a laugh and it’ll get you into the right mindset for the Italy game.
Its called chopper, its hilarious but very dark humour, it’ll teach you about survival, toughness, not just physical but mental as well, you’ve got to have the inner mentality that you don’t care as that’s what Italy will do, their going to want to rip the heart out of us and they’ll do it if we don’t fight back.
Some players are showing the way, their doing it, you can see it in their eyes and expressions of frustration etc, but we’ve all got to have it, we’ve got to win no matter what the cost, go in there and smash the Italians out of the way, do whatever you have to do to win, you can shake all their hands after the game but while you’re on that pitch you’ve got to want to smash the points onto them, we showed the way against Canada, now we’ve got to do it again, again and again until it becomes a forced habit, smash them out of the way, drive them back in the scrums, blast through them in their defence and attack.
Score, don’t give away penalties.
You can have a laugh and a chat with them after the game and teach them some of our secrets, but not all of them as there deadly weapons in the art of war on the pitch. No advice or encouragement will do any of the above for you you’ve got to go out there and do it on the pitch for yourselves and your nation, stamp your ground like a bull, run with the speed of a cheetah and cpigeons, come on guys we can do this, this is war, you’ve gotta go out there and prove you’re all unstoppable warriors with an insane desire to succeed and win, I know you can All do it, now lets go out there and show them the way.
