Wales v South Africa - 23/11/2024 (17.40)

[Reiser99]

Where was the defence out wide? Like they all panicked and when the ruck got turned over.

 

[AlRums]

This is leading to be an embarrassment.

On the upside, no cards in the first 10 mins!!

 

[dirty harry]

The body language of the coaching team is an embarrassment, they know they have cameras there, they are so defeated!!!!

 

[dirty harry]

Is Plumtree the stupidest pro rugby player in the NH?!?!?!

 

[Reiser99]

Botham gave away the most obvious penalty possible and is actually arguing it.

 

[Booboobang]

Overall problem is obviously bigger than gatland, player pool is shallow and young, and youth rugby is in decline, but the players are better than this and last week, backrow is talented.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Someone call the Police there's a murder happening

 

[dirty harry]

Botham gave away the most obvious penalty possible and is actually arguing it.

It's a loser mindset, he spends week in week out losing games, so he whinges. A lot of welsh players have slipped into it

It's really telling the story aye

 

[Yulia]

This game looks weird

Is it?

Botham is a clubman, Plumtree is barely that, Morgan isn't fully fit.

I'd have much preferred to have seen Reffell and Morgan wither side of Botham

 

[Booboobang]

It's really telling the story aye

If the coaches have a **** mindset you cant expect the players to have a winning mentality

 

[dirty harry]

It's really telling the story aye

I mean, even if they are that defeated and depressed, they know they are being watched, at least look busy and eager!!!

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Good defence set that. A bit of a glimmer of light

Hendrikse is quite poor

 

[Booboobang]

I meant as a totality. Morgan is potentially worldclass. Reffell is one of the best pure 7's around at the minute, plumtree flashes good things and is only 24, Tshiunza has amazing potential either at 6 or in the second row. Morgan Morris should of been looked at after last year as well but gatland not interested.

 

[Booboobang]

Almost as if SA are using this as attacking pattern practise with the kicking to the corner. No respect for what wales can threat and rightly so.

Reffel isn't playing, Botham and Plumtree are penalty machines and barely offer anything other than club level physicality.

Our best back row is Reffel, Morgan, Wainright. But Morgan has been injured for 12 months since RWC

Can you blame them, game hasn't been competitive since 3 mins

 

[Saintjay]

I'd be depressed in that Wales kit. Reminds me of a Spar carrier bag.

The new Biggar?
