Egg chasing - two significant results?

I can't believe how far backwards we've gone in such a short time.Mistake of the century letting Edwards go. Scotland's secret weapon was letting their forwards coach come back to Wales and employing a defense coach that was part of that great side of the 90's that lost to South Africa 98-0 was a typically shrewd move by the WRU.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Agree with all of that.
We don't seem to be making things happen from 9 and 10 either.

Without secure ball you can't and our pack isn't able to at the moment.

[William Treseder]

To me, losing Gatland and Edwards, was akin to Man Utd losing Fergie.
Almost impossible to replace.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

The resurgence of France is a good indication of how influential Edwards can be on a team.
Thank God England turned him down.

Influential yes but France have been building this team for the next world cup for some time before he signed for them.

Cut our losses and go for Joe Schmidt whilst he’s available?

Has international rugby suffered more than football due the behind closed doors policy? Were pubs packed last night as per a normal rugby international (bit of a contradiction because pubs can obviously be full while a ground is empty) ? Anyone out and about during the rugby?

Plenty of sparkly cowboy hats available

I tend to agree with you there. We just have to hope that this transition period does not lead to a permanent decline.

At the end of Gatland's reign, even the older players were still able to produce the goods more often than not. It's like deep inside they know their days are numbered and there is only so many times you can reach a pinnacle in your career.

We have never had an all conquering pack and this weakness is becoming more evident with every test match we play. At the moment we just cannot match the animalistic aggression shown by the Irish and Scottish packs or the technique and talent of the French and English.

Even our much vaunted backs seem laboured and lacking in ideas at present.
Clutching at straws, we rarely produce our best in Autumn internationals so I live in hope that some of them at least can raise their game by the time the 6 Nations is upon us.

I played in the same Cardiff Boys rugby team as Bishop, way back in 1971. He was a tiny, skinny, looking kid at that time, extremely gifted but greedy with it.

His father would always be on the sidelines, regardless of where we played and how foul the weather might be.

As a youngster growing up, I lived and breathed rugby. Unfortunately, by the time I got into high-school, I didn't have that growth spurt that others did. So I decided to turn my attention to alcohol and football violence instead... occasionally meeting up with the likes of you, SBF, Wolf and Matt in the process!
