Sounding like Pivac, and probably the rest of the coaching setup, have lost the locker room
That’s how I read that article. Players look half hearted

Australia are going to play so hard and fast we’ll be unable to score a point, not even a penalty. There that should do it and save Pivac’s skin.

Yeah, so not what I'd a successful autumn. But with a single victory it was still better than 2010 or 2012.

Statistically maybe. `but,

We lost to Georgia.
We lost to Australia B.
We got murdered by the All Blacks.

I’m going for the worst AI since pre-Gatland.

And Privac can sod off now as far as I’m concerned. I’d rather take the chance that Gatland, Dai Young or my dead granny could get us playing more like a rugby team in 2023.

When even the Santa at a local light switch on takes the piss, you know you are a total joke side.

We are a soft touch these days. A few of our best players are getting long in the tooth, and we're missing a few key individuals, but that's not an excuse. I suspect had Biggar started we'd have been no better off than starting Anscombe. Although, at least we'd have had Anscombe coming on instead of Priestland.

For me, a successful autumn would have been 3 wins, developing a coherent style, and bringing on a few young players. We failed on the first two, but we have a few interesting choices in the back row, at wing and at second row.

Wales don't have a USP. We change every week in response to whoever we're playing. Other teams don't do that against us. We know what NZ, South Africa, England, France, and Ireland are going to bring, but we don't worry them enough to make them adapt to us. We aren't good enough at anything to hang our hats on it and say, "yeah that's how Wales play".
