"I think the semifinals will be New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and possibly even Samoa."

Mr. Lewis moved to New Zealand in 1974. He is a mining village called Llay, but his family moved to England when she was 4 years old.

He played rugby for a team and Wirral, every year, they travel to Cardiff is always a game played on the same day England played Wales to play.

"I was the only Welshman in our team and, if England won, I would get ribbed all the way home. But if Wales won, no one would speak to me."

Taupo Wales squad, he said he heard some of their time will be spent was surprised and he would be keen to try to watch them train.

"I think they should visit somewhere like Wai-O-Tapu as there's nothing like that in Wales."

He also said they should experience some Maori culture, as it was a bit like Welsh culture "believe it or not".

"When you go on to a marae you have to be welcomed.

It's the same in Wales, was with the Druids. Do you guys know who are you.

"We also have our own language and, in the past, you were banned from speaking it. It's making a resurgence now."
