Wales say no to Poland but yes to Darth Vader

Roger Lewis tests out the prototype for the new chamber

Wales interim Head Lummox, Rob Howley, has today confirmed that his squad will not be attending the Magic Rugby Castle of Grandslammery in Poland, opting instead to stay in Cardiff.

However, any worries the fans may have that this will cause the Six Nations preparation to involve more golf carts and less weeping in exhaustion on the side of a Tatra Mountain need not worry, Howley intends to work his squad just as hard.  Also, the players will not go without the much-feted cryotherapy as the WRU are paying to have a "special chamber" built at their base in the Vale.

A WRU spokesman told us, "Everyone knows that immersion in some kind of inexplicable environment is essential in modern rugby training.  First it was ice baths, then it was cryotherapy, and now we intend to take it to the next level by building a Star Wars style Vader Chamber.  This means our players can get fit and, as an added bonus, enhance their dark side. Let's see what those bastards at Twickenham think about that, eh?"
