Kicking away possession now. Looking completely rudderless.

Got to disagree I'm afraid. It's another year where they collectively shit the bed when there is expectations of their shoulders.

Do agree Toony needs to take his share of the blame.

Yeah I know, was trying to reach for a +ve!

And the changes that should have been rung at half time have been done at 54 mins... Excellent Toony.

What the fuck is going on with those lob passes?

Shitebags mentally

I really wish we had an alternative to Russell when he is playing like this. Why doesn't he have any patience? I just cannot understand it. Why must every ball be forced if it isn't on?

Sign of a team that just don't know what to do.

It was on but he can't seem to give a fast flat pass.

Well defended by Hogg there.

A sign the Morepork forgot he was watching NH rugby?

You can't throw it fast if you want to delay every pass.

Embarrassing

I feel physically sick.

The sad thing is, the thing we were the most worried about well.. Jon Welsh came in and he did his job. Toony has got this so very, very wrong. They look completely unprepared.

This is actually embarrassing now.

It is not just Townsend. The forwards have been second best and the defence is once again very weak.

Wales have put in one hell of a shift, a truly clinical performance. Is it a great one? No chance. We have done EVERYTHING we could have possibly done to gift this game to Wales. Toony must answer for this. I have absolutely no problem losing to Wales in Cardiff - they are a top team and have home advantage. The performance is absolutely unforgivable.

I almost want the welsh fatty to have scored that

Someone needs to leave the mess webley in the changing room.

It is Toony though. The forwards are well on top in the loose iMO. The game plan is to play some stupid f*cking miracle ball every first phase. Let them truck it up and hit the Welsh line. Earn the right to go wide. They are ill prepared.

We did not lose this game because we lost a couple of lineouts or were pinged at a couple of scrums. The forwards are not responsible for finding themselves defensively mismatched - that is coaching.

How would you like GT to answer for it?

Warning signs have been there - The Glasgow team has played like this a few times this year with huge error rate.

Why did Gauzere ignore Horne being taken out without the ball?

It's all the coaches imo. We've not.ever been consistently good defensively under Taylor.

Townsend needs to shoulder a large part of the blame but he's not the only coach who is at fault.

That pass was forward.

A plan B? Preparing the team for the next game? Actually having a f*cking word with Finn would be a start? Being a maverick does not excuse the fact that you still need to be coached.

good score in corner....flat pass to be fair.
34 - 0 after 74 min..strewth.
