TOYOTA CITY, Japan: Wales will weather the physical and meteorological storms predicted in their opening Rugby World Cup Pool D clash against Georgia at the City of Toyota Stadium on Monday, according to assistant coach Shaun Edwards.
"We’ve been preparing for this for two years, we are totally focussed on the game against a formidable opponent and one we have a lot of respect for. It will be physical, but we are here to compete," Edwards told reporters in Toyota on Sunday. "Saturday’s rugby proved how important the line-outs and scrums were. The Southern Hemisphere teams have been driving at the line-outs, which is not the way they have traditionally played.
It could become especially important if the expected rain arrives, along with gusting winds, but Edwards points to the 25-7 win over Ireland in March at a wet Cardiff as proof of his team’s proficiency to play in all weather.
