[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 814421, member: 70721"] The Welsh did have a chance. ?? They were leading in a couple of the tests and many fans were concerned at that time about the outcome. Wales didn't lose the test series for lack of talent, courage, flair or desire, they lost because after a long hard season their conditioning was not the equal of their counterparts who were at the start of their season, still fresh and rearing to go. They gave our new look side a bit of a fright a few times, it was good for us. Argentina could give us some real problems yet, especially in their own back yard where they lift themselves and never discount the Japies in their own back yard, they are a wounded Lion at the moment. You don't come across like you respect the opposition. To announce that we are going to whip the opposition like dogs and that the opposition are rubbish, is to give motivation to the opposition, it is disrespectful, and it makes a rod for your own back if we play poorly, or get beaten. No good comes of it. Lighten up, express your confidence, just try to do it in a way that isn't disrespectful (unless in jest) otherwise you come across like you are taking it all too seriously. It's a game... [/QUOTE]
