Cawdor is more disruptive on the defence and Beard had a hell of a game vs England.

I think the best thing about the Italy game is we’re continually showing progress on the one thing Pivac makes his teams really good at.
That’s having 15 people on the pitch who can pass the ball properly. Yes there were a few bad passes in the last 20 when we’d switched off - but you watch Wyn Jones, Ken, Hill and AWJ are all comfortable giving and taking a pass. That, on top of the talents of Tips, Faletau & Navidi, means were a threat all over the park cause we’re 3 passes from getting it from one side of the pitch to the other. I’m pretty sure that’s what Pivac was brought to the Scarlets to work on as forwards coach and it now seems to be building into the Wales camp.

Unfortunately, the TMO was wrong in this case! But feel free to disagree with the TMO on the Itoje try, if you want... oh, you already did that!

That's three of us who see it that way - but since GPR can never be convinced he's wrong about anything, I doubt he'll be joining us!

Hope Josh learns a lesson to get the ball down asap in future. Sometimes you only get one chance in 80 minutes.

To me the back end of the ball touches down as he goes over. Edited by gnasher1975 - 15 March 2021 at 8:45am |

Im not overly concerned about foxy and north dealing with those 2. It will be a collossal clash and in certain positions fickou vakatawa and thomas are unstoppable regardless who is defending , penaud is also class. But theyre not the same team on the back foot. I thought foxy had a very good first 50. He did everything right , made some hard yards, tackled like a dervish, competed at breakdowns, popped a lovely pass to creat norths try, did all the donkey work, ripped off an italian 10 yards from our line...second half he faded though. It surprised me pivac took off north and kept on foxy, maybe hes just trying to get him back to 100% match fitness

Think his defensive line organising skills likely makes our defence a lot stronger - I bet we'd notice if he wasn't there - but he is limited in attack at the moment. Still can't pass off his right hand but never mind, can't do everything I suppose. Next week will be a test but Foxy has been there, done that so having that solidness and experience at 12 isn't a bad thing. Plus there's almost no other realistic options.

Fair assessment that. He must be doing something right but as you alluded at nothing spectacular.

Yes Aber the pack seem to be getting stronger - I think Beard will come back in with Hill to the bench as he is more physical. Elsewhere I can't see too many changes unless they feel Tomos Williams is ready for the bench.

Haha! So we completely disagree! As I say - it looked as if the balls in both cases touched the ground very early (over the line) before being lifted... Maybe some sort of IT system could be invented to decide these marginal calls, like the one used in tennis for line calls.
