KEVIN Morgan sums up the glorious uncertainty surrounding Wales' biggest Six Nations test so far this season against France in a cold and snowy Paris tomorrow.
When asked which France he expects to turn up - the halting, uncharacteristic side seen so far or the traditionally adventurous one - Morgan replied with a question of his own, "Does anyone know?
"They haven't played well so far, but they can turn it on and we've got to expect a better performance from them.
"France have got a good pack and they've brought a couple of extra runners into their backline with Laharrague and Rougerie, so maybe they intend spreading it more.
"They've also got a good defence and the main battle will be to break them down. If we do I don't see why we can't win," he said optimistically.
"We've shown we've got players who can take the game by the scruff of the neck." He didn't say it, but one of those could be Morgan himself, called into the Welsh team this week to celebrate his 28th birthday on Wednesday.
Switched from full back to wing in early December at Newport Gwent Dragons, Morgan hasn't looked back and has really carved out a new career for himself as a versatile back three player who could well switch around with skipper Gareth Thomas if only to confuse the French.
"It's gone a lot better than I thought," he admitted. "I still consider myself a full back, but I've been performing on the wing and hopefully I'll interchange with Gareth and play different roles."
Morgan has won 30 caps and made his Wales debut eight years ago, but believes the mood in the camp has never been better.
"The belief in the squad is the best I've ever been involved in," he said. "The strength in depth is good, it's definitely the best squad I've known, there's a good atmosphere and we all have a good time together which is half the battle.
"It was nice I managed to get on against England and I did a bit earlier against Italy when I had half-an-hour, so I got into the game straightaway."
One arcing run and a super offload led to a glorious try by Shane Williams and Morgan hopes for more tomorrow when he comes up against French danger man Christophe Dominici.
"He's a great player who has got a fair few caps now and is experienced," said Morgan. "I've seen him play for Stade Francais, but I've not opposed him (he wasn't with the Dragons when they played the leading French outfit in the Heineken Cup last season)."
Now Morgan hopes all his injury problems which sidelined him for a year and left him without a team after Celtic Warriors went bust, are over once and for all.
"I never doubted my ability," he said. "People were concerned I was injury prone and I had a tough couple of years, but things have changed really quickly.
"It's just great coming into a Welsh team firing on all cylinders."
