No Dragon their heels

JOHN TOSHACK has urged his young dragons to nail down a first-team slot for the World Cup qualifiers by stunning classy Holland today.

The Welsh boss goes into the friendly at Feyenoord'sDe Kuip stadium without his best player Craig Bellamy and brightest young talent Aaron Ramsey.

But Tosh has given his rookies a huge incentive and said: "There is no guarantee our big players will be back for the World Cup ties in September.

"There is a chance now for others to stake a claim and hold down a place. Holland are one of the favourites for Euro 2008 so it will be good to see how we do."
