Wales lock Bradley Davies, talking to Gareth Griffiths of the Western Mail, talks of his hope that their strong performance in the World Cup is the start of a Welsh legacy.
"If revenge is a dish best served cold, then Welsh rugby has forgotten to knock the oven off.
Just 36 days after losing the bronze medal match to Australia at the 2011 Rugby World Cup, Warren Gatland’s men get an instant chance to take the Wallabies’ scalp at the Millennium Stadium. It’s the ideal feast for a rugby-hungry Welsh public desperate to salute their World Cup heroes.
But to Blues lock forward Bradley Davies the December 3 date in Cardiff is as much about the future as the past, no matter how well Wales played in finishing fourth in New Zealand.
“We worked extremely hard during the World Cup and were proud of what we achieved,” said Davies.
“Hopefully it was a stepping stone for future success."
