All Set For Another Grand Slam Against Wales Tomorrow
.
By JOHN COTTRELL
London.
Wales's doughty rugby men prefer to be underdogs. They fight botter when the odds are against them. They often produco their most dazzling form when their backs are to the wall. So the Welshmen should go with happy hearts on their to play, as is the pilgrimage to Twickenham tomorrow custom, their first Intornational Championship match against England.

If ever the Welshmen could be rated as underdogs, it is now. England look all set for another grand slam, and no one but a Welshman can imagine their falling at the first hurdle.
Last year, England's side was described as "the best since the war," and it justified the label by winning the International Championship, the Triple Crown and the Calcutta Cup.

In each case, the selectors pre- experienced ferrod the more men. This was to be expected, for the match against Wales is for ""blooding" unsuitable youngsters. The Welsh have habit of making a deed net for and the inexperienced mon robbing him of confidence in the carly pinges.

Certainly the Englishmen have cause to be confident. The Welsh selectors have rarely had such difficulty in Anding 15 men who will blend into a team worthy of national status.
The final Welsh trial, in which the carefully selected Probables were beaten by the Possibles, the was such a debacle that selectors looked further aneld to find men for the first inter- national of the season oralasi Austraila.
And the selectors could not aven congratulate themselves when Wales beat the Wallabies 9-3. It was the Australians' sixth defent of the tour and the Welsh victory was not nearly decisive enough. Why. Newport alone and beat the Wallabies 11-0. Curdiff beat then 14-17.
No Real Excuse
Of course, Wales missed the grent C Morgan in the inter- national. But that was no real cxense. The Welsh backs of a few seasons age would have run circles around the Wallaby de- fence.
That's where the Welsh weak- ness ein the threequarter ne. The pack Is, competent enough, though it is unlikely That they can master the ex- perienced English forwards, and T.E. Davies of Llanelly Is very sound at full-back, with his safe India, Intelligent kicking and good positioning.
So, whatever the conditions, I cannot visualise a Welsh vic- tory at Twickenham, though the Welshmen, with their strong defensive backs, may well keep England's more low.
Like their counterparts in Wales, the Irish selectors have also been confronted
with serious problems. The final trinl resulted in ди
