Edwards sees Wales positives

Shaun Edwards has delivered an upbeat verdict following Wales' latest defeat against a southern hemisphere heavyweight and predicted "good times" ahead for the reigning RBS 6 Nations champions. the Wales training squad - reinforced by weekend call-ups Hallam Amos, Samson Lee, Rhodri Jones and Tom Prydie - has reconvened ahead of next Saturday's appointment with Argentina. the dusting down process has proved a considerable one since South Africa defeated Wales 24-15 in a punishing test match two days ago.

Centre Jonathan Davies will miss the remaining autumn games due to a chest injury, while prop Adam Jones (calf), wing Liam Williams (head) and replacement prop Scott Andrews (neck) also made premature exits. "Injuries to backs in the first half is a coach's nightmare," Wales Defence specialist Edwards said. "to have to reshuffle and still be within two points of South Africa on 68 minutes was a sterling effort from the lads. as I said to them after the match, good times will be ahead if we continue in that vein."
