[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 622946, member: 57076"] what you're saying about the IRE WAL game isn't a change in the culture of the team, it's part of the adapting that I mention. They just simply didn't play the rucks efficiently is basically what you're saying, in sense. I'm talking about a macroscopic change, and you a microscopic one. I don't know the expression "choke tackle", but again same thing. Adapting. Bottom line: Wales just didn't contest the rucks hard enough, didn't defend the mauls with as much urgency as they should've and KNEW they were coming, didn't react to Sexton's play efficiently or studied it before the match or wtvr...all in all, they simply didn't play Ireland well, make the necessary adjustments I think we agree here it's just semantics after that. If anybody is interested in bringing forth a true gameplan that is a true change in culture for Wales, that Gatland should've thought of, that this Welsh team really could follow REALISTICALLY, then please go ahead. Correct Warren Gatland and his failed Gatland ball. I'll quote him again as he said "What plan B or C, we didn't play our plan A well". Obvious errors in the way Wales played surfaced but they just didn't play their game well enough. I think they underestimated Ireland, or got discouraged...they really looked very soft out there the whole way, in almost every sector. [/QUOTE]
