Oh joy all the armchair experts are spouting away on social media again 🙄
God help us when the World Cup starts
4 friendlies before the tournament starts - 3 to go - and we have lost one of our better players (Faletau) and now another starter (Anscombe) is having a scan to see extent of his injury. Just as we found pre-2016 in game against Sweden, results don't matter in these warm-up games and all about how it helps or hinders the preparation for the World Cup.
Madness playing four really physical games. I suspect Anscombe will follow Ellis Jenkins and Faletau out of the World Cup.
Biggar must be kept in cotton wool now because if he gets injured we are screwed at stand off.
Yep 👍
It’s an open forum last time I checked
Friendly game, nothing to take from it.
Wales will beat them by a bigger margin next week to drive home who the better side are at the moment.

Only one team will remember these pre-tournament games and that's the side looking to fully understand how their winning tournament was built so they can replicate the next round.Exactly this Fez - test match rugby is brutal & the only thing that really prepares you is test match rugby. We always start tournaments slowly too, so the common wisdom is to have a tough warm-up & cross your fingers on injuries. It arguably paid off in 2011. 2015, not so much!
