One more time with feeling

Wales' legendary fly-half Barry John tips his former side for the Grand Slam again in 2009 and also makes special mention of three of Wales' youngsters in Wales on Sunday

"There is a settled, recognised look about Wales these days. That is one of the prime reasons why I believe they are in a better position as we get ready for the 2009 tournament than they were after winning those previous two Grand Slams.

"Such is the strength in depth of the squad, for the first time it’s about who will miss out on selection. We know about the talent of established stars such as Shane Williams, Lee Byrne and others. But to supplement those, there are three young players who really do excite me and who I expect to really emerge by the end of this tournament as fully-fledged stars.

"They are the Blues’ trio of Jamie Roberts, Leigh Halfpenny and Tom James."
