Collins gearing up for Rugby World Cup

James Collins is gearing up for the Rugby World Cup and will be watching closely as his beloved Wales play their first game against Uruguay on Sunday.


Collins is a big rugby fan and is excited to see the tournament get underway after the host nation England played the opening game against Fiji on Friday night.


Wales have been hit by injury problems with star man Leigh Halfpenny suffering heartbreak earlier this month when he ruptured his knee ligaments in the win over Italy and will miss the tournament.


But Collins still hopes that Wales can produce their best form and reach the latter stages of the competition.


Collins said: “I will be watching closely on Sunday and will be trying to watch all the games.


“We have had some really tough injuries and a couple of the lads picked up knocks last weekend so it is going to be tough for Wales this year, but I am really looking forward to it.


“I would like to think we have still got a chance of winning it. We have got a great team, but Halfpenny being ruled out at full-back who is our main points scorer is a big miss.


“Let's keep our fingers crossed it will be a good watch.”
