Hope you have got yer panty liners on..you know what too much excitement does to you :-D :-D <3 <3

Did I hear you all singing YMA O HYD on top of your voices?

probably not, as most of you can't speak Welsh YET! ;-) ;-) ;-)

Yma O Hyd was introduced to me by our lost member JUSTJOHN!

It was written and recorded by Welsh Singer / Actor/ Political Activist DAFYDD IWAN whose Mother taught me Welsh in Grammar School :-D :-D :-D

The words of the chorus translate in English to

Still Here, We are still here,
despite everyone and everything, despite everyone and everything, despite everyone and everything.... WE ARE STILL HERE!

and I hope the same holds true for Wales in the Rugby World Cup! :-) :-) :-) :-) <3

JEM’S GEMS......

........GEORGE NORTH

Wales and Northampton Saints Winger, George North, has been named in the Wales Starting Lineup to face Ireland on Saturday.
When he steps out onto the pitch of the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, George will have won his 50th CAP for WALES.

CONGRATULATIONS GEORGE<3

George reached the landmark of winning his 50th INTERNATIONAL CAP ( 47 Caps for Wales and 3 Caps for the British & Irish Lions) when Wales played France during the Six Nations Championship in February of this year.


INJURIES:

George has had a terrible 2014-15 Season, with no less than FOUR HEAD INJURIES in five months. He suffered a series of head injuries while playing for Wales in the Autumn Season, and also The Six Nations Championship.

He has not played since the Northampton v Wasps game in March of this year. Northampton beat the wasps 52-30 but poor George was knocked unconscious whilst scoring his 2nd Try, and has not played rugby since.

The incident while playing in his last Northampton game involved Wasps’ NATHAN HUGHES who was Yellow Carded for catching George’s head with his knee. The RFU Disciplinary Committee investigated the incident, and Hughes was found guilty. He was banned from playing for three weeks.


George, who was also chosen to play for the British & Irish Lions in 2013, is now fit. He has passed all the necessary cognitive tests and has been training hard for the past 2 months, including playing in a training match.
