Blues Perfect 10 Called Up for Wales
26 October 2009, 9:33 am
By
Warren Gatland has named a 29-man squad to represent Wales in the Invesco Perpetual Series next month - featuring no less than ten Cardiff Blues players - for the games against New Zealand, Samoa, Argentina and Australia.
Sale Sharks scrum-half Dwayne Peel is named despite not being available for the Series opener against the All Blacks on 7 November. That is due to the release policy at his club, a fact well known to Gatland, and he is the only player currently plying his trade outside of Wales to be selected.
With 2009 British & Irish Lions scrum half Mike Phillips absent through injury, Peel will contest the scrum-half berth, following the New Zealand game, with Gareth Cooper (Blues) and Martin Roberts (Scarlets).
In the forwards, Gatland has been boosted by the timely return from injury of the Blues' Test Lions, Gethin Jenkins and Martyn Williams, and has retained many of the names who have been regular contributors during his two-year reign.
"The selection process has been relatively simple for us. Generally we have gone for the incumbents in their positions at Regional level and selection reflects the good form our Welsh sides have shown already this season," said Gatland.
"Dan Lydiate is a good example of someone who has let his form do the talking. He deserves his chance, as does Sam Warburton, who also impressed the coaches on tour this summer.
Gatland has referred to this year's Invesco Perpetual Series, against three teams ranked above them in the IRB World rankings and World Cup rivals Samoa, as "the toughest I have come up against during my coaching career".
Significantly, Gatland and his Welsh team can count on maximum support for both fixtures as the Millennium Stadium is already a 74.500 sell-out for both games.
Cardiff Blues offer hospitality packages at Cardiff Arms Park, including match tickets for both the fixtures against Australia and New Zealand, which are already sell outs. Priced 199 pounds per person the comprehensive hospitality package at the Arms Park comprises pre-match 4 course luncheon, plus post-match catering, complimentary drinks all day, match ticket, match programme and entertainment. For more information call 02920 643 789 or email sales@cardiffblues.com
With more than 230,000 tickets for the Series already sold, those remaining for the matches against Samoa and Argentina are available from www.wru.co.uk, Ticketmaster: 08442 777888 and Ticketline: 02920 230130.
Tickets for Wales v Samoa on Friday 13 November are priced at £15 for adults and £10 for children and tickets for Wales v Argentina on Saturday 21 November are available at £35, £45, £50 and £55.
