You say I'm blind to it but fully ignore statistical evidence that proves you wrong...I remember the 90s.
Speak for yourself. I had no hope under Gatland but I have a little bit now as performances have improved, even though you are blind to it, in the last 2 games. I fancy us to put in a similar performance as we did against Ireland. We may still come up short and there's some things I don't like about the team but I'm optimistic that I'll see us play some good stuff and hopefully run them close which is a hell of a lot more than I ever expected under Gatland.
When Wales are 15 v 15 they are absolutely non competitive, the 2 periods we've seen some play and scored are:
Irish red card and Scotland up by 25 and replacing their first teamers after the game was won.
We lost the 2nd half to Ireland 17 -0 and conceded 4 tries in 28 mins against Scotland.
These performances are bad, and tier 2 nations fans celebrate this way when losing with a bit of pride. Now new coach bump is 100% a thing, and there may be a slight increase in workrate and effort, but you are kidding yourself if you think we have been competitive!
