Who exactly do you think shouldn't be in the squad , I think our bench is pretty decent tbh
Yeah our bench has been great all championship apart from yesterday... you can't expect it to work out 100% of the time. Never throw the baby out with the bath water.
Yeah the mind boggles... makes you think that Johnno and Johnny must've co-ordinated everything.In the paper today Sir Clive picked his lions team, there was no Faletau but Tipric was picked at No8. How on earth did England win a WC with him in charge the mind boggles one of the best No8s in the world substituted for an average 7
TBA I'm not saying they are not good players on the bench but if we lose Faletau, Navidi, Wyn Jones, north, Josh Adams, Liam Williams, and perhaps a few more have we got like for like
No they dont. Ref didn't see it grounded and Barnesy-mate couldn't have seen it grounded either. His response seemed to suggest that his hands were tied as he could not offer an opinion given that his Bessie had intimated he had seen a grounding which probably was an assumption more than anything given he was behind play and if the ball was grounded it was out of his sight.
Ignoring Brandon2k s obsession with it I'm unsure how much more clear it would have to be. Just in those circumstances it will always be a waste of time going to the TMO because that's the most evidence your ever going to get for a try being held up like that.

Not being funny Dai but you take that many front line players out of any international side and you're gonna see problems arise. Look at England with prime Manu and Binny... and then without... and that's just two players.
Yes Carr I don't know what he brings, what I'm saying is although the bench might be good the bench are the bench because they are not as good as the players taking the field and is why they are on the bench. a moot point, but my daughter came up today and asked me who is the Pedro Pescal look alike in the Welsh team (Sheedy)
true but the best teams don't make whole sale changes when its close
W.E. I know you think he's the best thing since sliced bread but you said it your self what other 7 would put a little kick in, thats not his job, what he does he does fairly well but he is not a destructive 7 that's what's needed in todays game.
Our boys were close to being out on their feet bud, most of those changes (maybe with the exception of Biggar) had to be made. The majority of the subs didn't go well but that is not entirely indicative of them as players now nor in the future. These boys looked magnificent when they came on against Scotland and England. Sometimes it just doesn't go according to plan.
Okay I'll agree yesterday it was the wrong decision to make changes , biggar was in the zone yesterday no need to bring sheedy on as we much needed biggars physicality in defence but in the previous games sheedy has come on and impressed but Pivac did make an error call yesterday .
I agree they were out on their feet and have said so in other posts. But even Sheedy who I consider one for the future reverted to type and started kicking long, yes we needed subs on but against better opposition they came up short, so the need for them to get better is a must for us to improve long term,
He turned a scenario from being smashed and possibly losing the ball to scoring a try from absolutely nothing. I'd say that was pretty destructive. Him racking up almost 100 tackles and missing 1 isn't exactly screaming walk over either to be honest.
Ive not seen enough of Botham to really make a call on him . I do wish we still had the likes of a Hadleigh Parkes on the bench tho he would of been perfect to bring on the last 15 yesterday.
