As the Ladies set out to on their path to the World Cup finals, the first examination on the way is against a strong and confident Welsh side this weekend. How will Sweden fare under the new stewardship of Jonas Ahl? That remains to be seen, but he has one of the coaching team that was successful in helping the squad to achieve their goal of reaching the VM. Peter Joyce is the assistant coach who managed to avoid being ditched by the board, so presumably he will bring some experience and quality to the new coaching set up. It will be interesting to see the starting line up for the Swedish team, will there be new faces brought in or familiar ones returning? We are sure that Wales will have watched the upset at Twickenham last Saturday, and will not want to suffer the same misfortune, so watch out for some hard hits and tough tackling from them. Without a match for a few weeks the Swedish players will be fresh but will they be match fit? Let's hope so and we hope that they carry on from where they left off, and give rugby in Sweden another boost.
I am just a bit gutted I'll be arriving in Wales a few hours too late to see the game....send me the results when you get them ;-)
