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

How does 5 and wing both overrun the ball carrier there?

Have they ever spoken to each other, corner flagging in pairs is the most basic training exercise!!!
 
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.
Rose tinted specs?
 
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
I know reffel isnt in there, but thats a bad coaching choice by gatland, botham is what he is, and like I said plumtree is still potential. As a total that pool of players isnt awful. Maybe we disagree, but I think gatland makes this team worse in current standing, but who knows, I think wales are obviously level below, but not embarresed by australia low.

Disagree...

This is easily the worst Wales squad in 30+ years...

Griffin can't get club games, Botham and Plumtree are clubman, Bevan isn't good enough, Costelow is semi pro, Ben Thomas is a 27 year old who has only ever beaten welsh opposition, Llewellyn is a utility player, Hathaway and Murray aren't solid pros yet!

Thos wales team wouldnt be competitive in the English prem!

Dont disagree with it being the worst welsh team in my lifetime.

Simply that it is better than getting embarresed, and is being made worse by a past it coach. Overall problem is the board, and how they have killed s national past time, but they arent going to vote to sack themselves.
 
I know he's made a good fist of it but still can't believe Griffin is Wales' first choice tighthead
0 starts for Bath (well, 2 in the Prem Cup if you count that) and his longest Premiership appearance is 35mins...and that was a year ago
