Team for Wales

[Banquo]

Basics fucking awful.

Marcus catching well

[Banquo]

Sorry for Ollie, but Borthwick fully deserves an early lock injury

Big loss Chessum, his work at the lineout and defence had been excellent early doors. Hurt his shoulder hitting the ball in a tackle where he was leading the lock chase. Not sure CCS can replicate. Borthwick gambled and it's not paid off.

We've also got to tighten up. A loose game suits Wales it doesn't suit us.

Stupid pointless gamble

[Banquo]

Piss poor the last 10 mins. Dumbass pens and no composure

[Galfon]

W 7 - 14 E after 32,
game on..

Stupid pointless gamble

Alex Coles has had an injury and the other locks don't offer much if anything. I'd have gone with a lock but I understand why he took the risk.

[FKAS]

Probably better to concede the try rather than the yellow card or possible review of the rolling maul collapse and a penalty try.

[Mikey Brown]

There’s one for Genge’s tally on the mbm.

[Banquo]

Great from saints boys. Fair play to roebuck too.

[Galfon]

Full-house Freeman !..
7 - 21, 35 mins..good timing.

[FKAS]

Fin Smith is pulling the strings today. Roebuck has been excellent on the wing. I do like the balance of the midfield so far.

I’ll stick with my view and the proof is this pudding

Great call by sb obvs now

Agreed.

As I said, given the choice I'd have taken a lock on the bench. CCS has done alright so far, maybe Borthwick knows more than we do about lock play

[Galfon]

Actually looking reasonable with the interplay, on the same wavelength.
7 - 28 after 39.

[Banquo]

Good conversion of chances fair play

Maybe .

But it was called out as an error beforehand and remains so tbh. CCS will be dying by the end.

[FKAS]

It's a mullering so far. Got to keep our foot on the accelerator.

[Galfon]

Stuart joins the party, Smith miss.
7 - 33 with BP secure.
( Sco. need to park the ' Auld Alliance' , and do the job later . )

[Mellsblue]

Sweet baby Jesus, Wales are shunt and horribly underpowered.

Yeah I'd not like to be CCS tomorrow morning, he's going to wake up feeling like his back is in bits. He did play some lock at age grade and his LI debut was at lock. Not that I want to keep defending a decision I wasn't particularly keen on in the first place.

Fair dinkum.
Been impressed with Fin.

[Oakboy]

Is our back row selection working?

[Danno]

Is our back row selection working?

Yep

[Galfon]

Genge releasing his inner Joe Marler with that try making nod-on..clearly off the training ground..

[Stom]

I'm finding this terribly hard to judge. It just feels like playing Italy a decade ago...Wales are just truly appalling.
