    [2023 Six Nations] France v Wales - 18 March 2023

    Feel like Gatland is trolling people with the team selection now France: Ramos; Penaud, Fickou, Danty, Dumortier; Ntamack, Dupont (capt); Baille, Marchand, Atonio, Flament, Taofifenua, Cros, Ollivon, Alldritt. Replacements: Mauvaka, Wardi, Falatea, Chalureau, Macalou, Lucu, Moefana, Jaminet...

    [2023 Six Nations] Italy vs Wales 11 March 2023. Kickoff 14:15

    Grady and Hawkins have been a bit porous in defence to say the least. But it looks like Wales aren't even trying to do anything in the backs. So what's the point of picking an attacking centre partnership to not do anything? just seems it's one pass to hawkins who then run straight, that's...

    Wales v New Zealand - 05/11/2022

    I was excited about Privac taking over but it just hasn't worked out. For every high point there's at least double the amount of lows. I agree about how is going to come in now? Privac makes to the world cup at least, probably best for everyone if there's a change after that though.

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    Wales just don't seem to be able to really break any teams down in attack, was similar in the 6 nations. I expect SA to just maul and scrum Wales to death on the weekend.

    Australia vs England (2nd Test) - 09/07/22

    Obviously England did very well to get to the last WC final but if everything is aimed at lifting the WC then they should be a bit disappointed to get that well beaten by SA in the final. He can only survive on that final run for so long.

    Australia vs England (2nd Test) - 09/07/22

    Jones (and Gatland previously ) have been pretty guilty of having some positions as merry go round of players which are used and discarded seemingly every game but then there's double standards over their favourites who are seemingly immune to being dropped regardless of the form they are in or...

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    Most sane Welsh fans understand that the SA team picked is well capable of beating Wales, there's a small minority that have complained.

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    One word..... 'meh' Good to see Wyn Jones back but I still expect Wales to struggle to create much in attack.

    U20 Summer Series

    Not sure on Grady, I've seen him have a few games for Cardiff and he's done alright to be fair but often some of these bigger backs struggle when they get to pro level and find others just as big. He does seem to lose the ball in contact a bit too much although I'll give him the benefit of doubt...

    U20 Summer Series

    Wales u20s have seemed to improve the past two years. As others have said Hawkins looks pretty handy, he's had quite a bit of game time for Ospreys as well already and hasn't looked out of place which is what you want from a 20yo. I thought at the start of the tournament Tshiunza's carrying...

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    Josh Adams didn't have best game last week but he's the most well balanced winger Wales have so makes sense dropping him......

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    I'd put Navidi in instead of Lydiate, offers much more of a attacking threat and a lot better at the breakdown in defence.

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    I want to see Anscombe given a start. He might have that extra bit of creativity with both ball in hand and playmaking ability that might help kick start Wales' attack.

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    It's varies massively in positions. Wales seem to have loads of decent 7s but then struggle with 6s and especially 8. Hooker seems to be getting better after Elias has stepped up his game and Lake looks handy. Props seem to be a struggle, can't seem to find players that are both decent around...

    England’s tour to Australia thread

    What a find Steward is. Seems to have everything you want for a top tier international full back and he's only 21 as well!

    He doesn't seem to play that much for Bath so that's really saying something.

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    Brown is simply injured too much. Physically has the right attributes but you don't improve as a player if you spend most of the time on the side-lines.

    England’s tour to Australia thread

    I do agree that Smith should be the choice going forward for 10, point was Care and Farrell picked for their experience either side of him but didn't seem to work. What do England fans think of Cokanasiga? I just don't get it. You get one great run out of him then proceed to not see him many...

    SA vs Wales (June 2022 series)

    WGJ is a weird one, seemed like a contender to be fighting for tight head spot but has barley featured since his move to Wales, that's including at regional level as well.

    England’s tour to Australia thread

    Eddie Jones talks a load of ****, he's always been the same so I don't pay attention too much to what he says. It's on the pitch though England have just looked lacklustre. I agree that he's world cup final probably give's him the credit in the bank to have another shot. I thought Smith looked a...
