Parting company with Pivac seems a bit premature now............
Shambolic today. That's a real stuffing. Best hope now is two wins, bleed some youngsters and hope for momentum at the world cup
Pivac didn't blood enough youngsters so now too many have to be brought in at the same time. Missing Louis Rees Zammit big time aswell, but not because Rio Dyer just isn't ready yet,but to play at 15. The forwards were better but behind the scrum needs a lot of work.
With what ? The regions are struggling, the u-20’s have lost their first two games , and the senior 15 have conceded over 70 points in their first two games. What sort of future for Welsh Rugby are you expecting ?Quote:

I'm not a rugby fan and didn't watch the match but did pick up on Jiffy's post match comments and he could have been describing us.
Anyone old enough to remember this game?

I can remember reading about it, but it was just a bit before my time.

Though only six points scored in that game, it may have been a thrilling encounter compared to England - Wales a year earlier which finished 0-0. A year later Scotland and New Zealand also drew 0-0.Quote:

Tomos Williams and Dan Biggar. ??Quote:

I bet the people of Wales and Ireland were on tenderhooks for months waiting for that game that was carried over to November to be played.Quote:

Biggar needs to leave his ego in the dressing room. He was poor again.Quote:

17-24 Italy v Ireland. Great first half. Wales miles behind all teams this year but still wouldn’t rule out a one off win later
not looking likelyQuote:

Aaaaaand I jinxed it. If England continue this domination it could be a long 80, I do agree with that.
Can someone who knows more about rugby than me tell me what Wales’ game plan is here?
Haven’t a clue mate, no cohesion, no plan, no chance of a win.Quote:

Seems to be to kick the ball as aimlessly as possible.Quote:

Think we wanted to kick the ball a lot to move the big men in the England team about. Our kicking game has been second best though.
Some of the communication and decision making has left a lot to be desired too. Tapping and going on that penalty first half when nobody was with Tomos Williams was a bad decision. As was Faletau's decision to carry one more time with no support just before half time.
Still in it though as it stands.
Just had a quick Google ha ha. I’m 43 so yes too young for that referenceQuote:

No chance to have a big hit on the catcher. Almost always a player running back towards the ball but cleverly positioning themselves between catcher and kick chaser.
The speed of the support play from the forwards is another negative for Wales. England have got over the ball quickly but we've just not communicated well or improved it.
They’re just better in every area of the pitch. They’ll pull away now I think….unless Farrell keeps missing kicks
jeepers...Wales win a pen insidede heir own half and they congratulate each other like they won the World cup.
