For those without Sky yuou can pick the game up via the S4C website (http://www.s4c.co.uk) Look for the 'clic' option at the top of the page and then 'Gwylio S4C yn fyw'on the left hand menu.

I'm struggling to find him, think he's number two but not sure. Croatia at full strength barring Olic (Bayern) i'm led to believe.

He Got subbed about 57mins in as he got a whack in the face that has injured his mouth and tried but couldn't continue, may need a slight op on it as its his tooth, however was happy to get that amount of game time and helps towards his fitness for the coming season (that will be with DRFC)and get back to match sharpness.

Knew that Croatia would be a good test but wasn't out of place, also hoping to nail a place in the euro qualifiers.

He took that whack in the face in the first half too. From what I could make out, via a tempremental internet connection, Stock put in another solid shift. Didn't make as many waves as he did in his first game, but then he didn't have the quality of players around him (at least not on the same team) to help him do so.

Having watched Wales for a long time its clear that Stock brings a vital component to the team. He always offers the short pass to his defenders and his fellow midfielders to increase their options, and tries to bring an element of patience to the build up and stop them whacking long high balls up to tiny strikers (as they did so infuriatingly against Finland the other year).

Even someone as close minded and stubborn as Toshack must recognise what Stock brings. With Ramsey out for the early qualifiers he's up against decent players in Edwards, Davies, King, Ledley, Collison and Dorman. He's above Dorman in the pecking order, and arguably in front of King now too, so given inevitable pull-outs he has a strong chance of starting the first game in Montenegro... which is why I plan on getting a new flag for the trip
