Wales boss Ruddock makes bold statement

WALES coach Mike Ruddock last night urged his team to “be bold” in their crunch RBS 6 Nations Championship clash against unbeaten title rivals France on Saturday.

Ruddock has announced a side showing two changes from that which crushed Italy 38-9 last time out.

Kevin Morgan takes over from his injured Newport-Gwent Dragons colleague Hal Luscombe on the right wing while Neath-Swansea Ospreys forward Ryan Jones is preferred at blindside flanker to Jonathan Thomas.
