EOYT: Wales v Argentina, 10/11/2012

[Rhyer]

That Argentine no.11 is killing Wales with some fancy skills.

Sorry I must be watching a different games, but Jenkins has tackled, rucked, carried and scrummaged well. The seeming witch hunt for Jenkins is getting pathetic.

Warburton is not being affective because he is simply being knocked off the ball.

Jenkins has been OK, but has been very quiet in the last 20min or so.

Another try?

 

[Rhyer]

This is insane, another try perhaps? Great catch and finish.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Sorry, last year weren't you Welshies saying Warburton was the best no.7 in the world?

Ah here you are ... wondered where you had seemingly gotten to.

Howley's coaching skills proving to be utterly useless by the looks of it. So many players who should not have played, f**cking get him well away from any rugby team anywhere.

please get some subs on now ?

 

[dullonien]

Bring on the bench!

Simply not head coach material. Taken massive step back instead of going forward.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

****. Argentina found a 10 that can kick goals...

A mixture of both I would say.

 

[YesImAfroJack]

this is definite improvement from the argies

 

[Rhyer]

Argentina need to calm down and trust their defence. 11 points is huge, can't give away penalties and just play it safe.

That is the sign of a bad captain, you're 11 points down with 16 minutes to go and you go for the corner? Terrible.

 

[dullonien]

Has Howley got something against Tipuric. 11 points behind, and he still hasn't brought on out most creative backrower? We've picked it up slightly, Hibbard made a big impact. Get North and Cuthbert into some space!!!!!!!

Edit. Argentina straight off their feet there after Halfpenny was tackled!

 

[Bluemoon]

Mcusker and Turnbull completely shadowed.

 

[YesImAfroJack]

i really don't like howley as interim coach, do most agree that tips has done enough to deserve a presence in this game ?

Wales have no impact off the bench in key areas. Preistland couldn't unlock a door handle at the moment let alone a defence.

Also a polite notice ... won't be applicable for most but please no double posting, edit your posts! Thanks.

 

[Draggs]

See, the players who aren't performing are the ones who have played like this all season.

 

[Rhyer]

I agree about Preistland. They need a good 10 to use the backline. The world really lacks them, I can think of 5 and they all come from either South Africa or New Zealand.

Penalty and game over, Wales now need 2 converted tries and a penalty/drop goal in 9 minutes. Could happen but unlikely.

Edit : What a meant was a good attacking 10 who uses the backline. There are a lot of good 10's about but most seem to play conservative rugby nowadays.

 

[Thingimubob]

Called this as soon as the team was named. We're utterly useless, have a genuine chance of losing all 4 games unless some sort of changes are made. But it's Howley, of course nothing is going to be changed.
