Wales Fan

In 2012 he told us Wales expected win all 4 of their November tests, that they were going to Australia to win the series. Same in 2013, he told us he was getting sick of losing to Southern Hemisphere teams because he expects Wales to beat them. No one forcing him to come out with these kind of statements.
Yes he has had injury issues but he hasn't helped himself with his pedestrian performances for Cardiff, I've seem him throughly outclassed by academy players and journeyman in that time when he meanders around like he has something better to do. If he bothered his ass trying for more games than against England he might forge a decent career. He seems like a bloke who would be better off getting dropped to bring him back to the reality that he isn't anywhere near a world class 7, despite the potential he had.
Are you serious ?
He was the captain of a successful (in Europe anyway) side & what, you expect him to go into a series of matches saying - "oh, well we'll do our best but will probably end up losing all our games anyway" & "hope you still want to come out & watch us lose though, thanks"
Has any captain ever come out with bollocks like that ?
As for his sub-standard performances for the Blues, I think most of their fans would agree. I wouldn't like to guess as to why, but he's probably played as many games for Wales as for them which may give a clue ??
