Bleak Wil!! Very bleak. With all due respect, I hope you’re wrong.

I can see it. We were lucky to get the win in Japan, totally a chance we blew test #2 this summer and were staring down 20+ losses on the bounce.

Japan aren't great, but they gave Ireland a good game up to the last 15 or so...and it wasn't Ireland being complacent or being off the boil, it was Japan playing at high tempo with accuracy, the pack was decent too. We have gone for an odd back row, with now not much pace in the back 5, and really only Wainwright as a reasonably dynamic and impactful carrier. LRZ will add some spark but I really don't see much else in the back line. The loss of Jac Morgan is immeasurable. |

Tandy loves his 6s. I can’t figure out how Cracknell went from called up behind Morse and Plumtree to starting. Wainwright finally hitting the gears at 8, and we move him

All a bit odd ... it's a back 5 forwards selection that's built to grind .. pick and go..keep it tight...keep the opposition numbers locked in to defending the fringes etc.
It's a plan. Not sure it's the right one. |

Lack of posts about the game probably says it all. That we couldn't score against 13 man Japan is particularly concerning. We are lucky they aren't taking their chances.
I do have to ask: what on earth has happened to Josh Adams? He used to be good but it's like Cuthbert all over again.

Dire. Tomos will recieve ball passes to Edwards who is standing 15 yes behind gain line, ball then gets passed back an extra 10 yds. Pathetic

HT - 7-7
Murray having an awful game. Pack has zero impact and the centres even less. Only players I see having a reasonably satisfactory game are Jenkins/Tomos/Dan - the rest are an embarrassment to Welsh teams of the past. As for the coaches - Tandy/Wilson/Sherratt/Lydiate - all bargain basement and we all knew they weren't up to it. Still, the WRU wants to be in charge of it all. Well this is what you get.

And add insult - advert on S4c for Bristol v Harlequins in March when even some of pitch side seats are empty for a Wales game
