Wales v Fiji

[TommiG88]

This new blocking law does seem like the kicking team just needs to run into some one.

Was just thinking the same

 

[TommiG88]

That was forward at the end

 

[Reiser99]

Surely forward.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They deserve the try just for that handoff

I think the rational is that the defending team needs to get behind the ball not jog be in the way. One of those where yes the kicking team milk it, but the catching team needs to not be there.

If he'd said 'sit down' that's a deserved try.

 

[IT157]

Come of Fiji! Hold on!

 

[TommiG88]

Fiji look knackered

 

[Reiser99]

Fiji taking the **** there trying to get another score.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fiji still playing from their own line with the clock in the red and up less than a score is +100 aura

 

[Tooting Carmen]

That's it. The time for serious reform from top to bottom in Welsh rugby is now.

 

[Astrodragon]

this blocking law is stupid - are players supposed to teleport out of the way??

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Cackling seeing Fiji still going for it while leading in extra time there, hahaha

Wales has maybe 2 top level players in the world. So I have some sympathy for Gatland until I remember he was basically in charge for 15 years.

His return to being Wales coach after the two-year Pivac period makes me think of this trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HappyEndingOverride

It's always comforting to know that when England are bad, Wales are worse.

Fair play Fiji, they never gave up and did similar to what Australia did yesterday to England. Wales took their foot off the gas and never really regained the dominance they had at the start.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Oof. Didn't watch the second half but expected a Welsh win from minute one. Bad times for them.

Well done Fiji.

 

[Wasps92]

Ah well, at least Wales are still ****.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Has Gatland offered to resign again yet?

 

[Welsh Exile]

Well done Fiji by the way, can't help but feel good seeing them win a game of rugby even if it means we lose our 10fh test match in a row. Water off a ducks back at this point anyway.

Will be very interesting to see what team he picks for Australia. Historically he likes to pick the same team after a loss to get a response but I feel there could be a few changes. I'm not that bothered at this point though. Gatland is not the source of all our woes but he's not getting the best out of the players available, he's not even selecting the right players in the squad for starters.
