Think people are being a bit harsh on Gunter - his presence may have been one of many reasons why we didn't play as well as we did on Thursday, but it's a pretty small one. A bigger reason for me was the decision to play Roberts as far forward as that (I would have preferred to see Brooks keep his place or Harry Wilson given a start) - I might be wrong here, but I don't think he has played in that position for the jacks before has he?

However, what is known for certain is that Wales had used a very demanding approach physically against the Irish less than seventy two hours earlier and now, with eight of the outfield players who had started against the Irish in from the start, were facing an away game (after having their flight out to Denmark delayed) against higher ranked opponents who had not played a game for more than a week in most cases - this seems a better explanation of what happened than trying to put it down to the performance of individual members of the team.
