For Ireland

Swap Sanjay and 1/2 p
Owen W at 12 and Scott to 13
Faletau to start ( he's no impact player Moriarty is)
Charteris for Ball
Try Sam D at 10 (though he will be targetted and brutally by Ireland)
North is shot atm (could give Steff/Giles a chance but can't see Howler doing it)

In all probability Howler will pick the same team as the one against Scotland and hope - "they are more accurate" - FFS!
What's going on?

It is surely now time to end the misery and change the coaches?

howley needs a long holiday outside wales

He's getting one - his mates are taking him to New Zealand for a couple of months in the summer. Cool

I'm sick to the teeth hearing that Muppet come up with talk about 'accuracy'.
Is it just me or does the bloke look like he is about to burst into tears every time he is interviewed? How on earth can such a grey man inspire! The Union have played a blinder extending his contract. As a wise kiwi journalist once said, we really are the village idiots of world rugby.

Expect exactly the same against Ireland. As soon as I see 1/2p at fullback i lose interest. Yawn.
Go ahead..........Take those banana's

Halfpenny hasn't scored a try in his last 32 starts for Wales at FB. Says much about ambition to me and the safety first approach when he receives the ball in our half. Watch the Brown and Hogg approach to ball in open field compared to 1/2p. We always look to kick whereas they look for space. I appreciate much of it is game by numbers, but no try in 32 is a damning indictment for an Int'l fullback in what has been a decent team during that period. However you dress it up.
George is gone defensively imo. He was never a great tackler, but have these injuries affected him subconsciously? Just doesn't look interested at times.

Yep...hapenny has had a very long barren run at 15 , yet he was a decent try scorer on the wing. Liam is a natural fullback (though even he kicks too much ball away imo) and everyone thinks they should swap , bar howler. In saying than sanjay was guilty of a bad defensive error for try 1. North was absolutely anonymous in attack and defence all day. 

Try 

Liam hapenny hewitt
steff evans covering all 3 positions from the wing and sam davies at fly half

Send north back to the saints and some tackle bags and send doctor bob back to med school permanently

Can I just say that matt morgan is by far the best broken field runner in Wales, he was majestic on friday again for Cerdiff. I realise hes small and his defence is questionable, but what a talent....It would be a delight to see him given a fair crack.

I made a terrible mistake during the match on Saturday, which was almost equivalent to telling my mates that I was a devil worshipping baby-eating, smallpox carrier. I suggested that we would have played better if we had Cubby in for Tipuric, because we were doing so badly in the breakdown. I think they're still speaking to me as they think I was pi**ed at the time and not responsible for what I was saying. Unfortunately that silly idea is still in my head today. Should I see a psychiatrist?

Yes because that would be far too sensible picking the in form 7 in pro 12 who wins turnovers for fun as opposed to a very good open field rugby player who gets bullied at breakdown.
She asks why i still can't answer. I guess its in the blood.

No difference in my opinion. Always has taken the ball too far before trying, too late, to pass.
Keep the faith
