:23:40. > :23:46.We never had him for friendly games. But I don't see us having a
:23:47. > :23:48.problem. He may miss one or two friendlies but I don't think he will
:23:49. > :23:52.miss all of them. With a depleted squad, Wales are
:23:53. > :23:55.lowering expectations about getting a result, talking instead
:23:56. > :23:57.about gaining valuable experience for the wider squad, just as they

:25:17. > :25:25.It is looking mixed. More springlike this week and we have the statistics
:25:26. > :25:31.for Wales. It was the third warmest spring on record in Wales. It
:25:32. > :25:35.continues a run of six months from December where temperatures were
:25:36. > :25:40.higher than normal. Rainfall was about average. The changeable
:25:41. > :25:44.weather continues this week, often cloudy with rain at times and some
:25:45. > :25:50.sunny spells. This evening staying cloudy. Further out rates of rain
:25:51. > :25:55.and some clearer spells so we could see fog patches forming on the
:25:56. > :25:59.hills. A very mild night with temperatures are staying in double
:26:00. > :26:05.figures. Tomorrow, next day. A lot of cloud around. Some bright spells
:26:06. > :26:11.but some showers. More in the way of sunshine later on. It would be quite
:26:12. > :26:17.as warm. Top temperatures around 14 Celsius. Tomorrow night into

:26:47. > :26:51.small risk of an isolated shower. Temperatures in the mid-teens. But
:26:52. > :26:54.the fine weather looks short lived. We could see more rain weaving
:26:55. > :27:00.across Wales on Friday and then signs of something warm into next
