To be fair, Wales had a 19 year old rookie in the second row by then, so maybe the front row were not getting the support from behind?

For the last penalty, Rhodri Jones and Brad Roberts were destroyed before Sam took a step back. Not saying he's going to be an asset, but judging anyone coming on for the second half in a team that had basically given up, isn't going to tell us much.

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

The changing of all 3 starting front rowers was inevitably going to weaken the scrum and the plan of running much more of the ball in the second half was not implemented - not helped by Cuthbert's yellow card and other substitutions. Had we been able to move the ball wide the 135 Kg loose-head might have been more of a weakness than a weapon.

Not a fan of this model of intertwining club and county finances together and sharing success/failure. It's worked in Ireland because the IRFU built on the success of the foundations, feels like we were trying to do similar to it but in reverse order and it's falling apart.
Personally I'd prefer a much simply system of tv money, competition income and core funding with a reasonable fee for player release for matches and training and scrap the 80/20 payments. If the clubs aren't successful in producing internationals then they don't get the player release payments and have to fund more of their squad themselves, likewise if the WRU incomes drop then there is no debate over club funding v a hotel or roofwalk, it goes to the clubs because you pay your suppliers first. We need a more competitive edge in all areas, both on and off the pitch.

I’d love that. I don’t think the competition money alone would ever make it possible to put out a competitive squad in any competition though. Our squad costs somewhere north of £7m, which will probably reduce next season, but add in a coaching team, physios, back room, etc. It’s hard to see how we could ever spend less than £7-8m to run a team. Our actual costs are more than £10m usually. The competitions we are in bring us around £3m in TV money. We probably get another £2m at most from gate and hospitality and maybe £1-2m in sponsorship. So, we are dependent on WRU payments, or something else to turn up.

Yeah there'd have to be some element of core funding but based on agreed metrics rather than an element of let's see how much spare cash there is year on year.
There's too much debate and time and effort spent on negotiating, they're shouldn't be any grey areas.
