big_bruv

OK don't talk to me then.

Wales lost. We're not crap tho. Glad we beat Italy or might be wooden spoon time.

No we wouldn't beat their B team. Stop the excuses and fantasy.

Exactly. If he weren't dead, John Candy could prop.

No we're not, we've won f*ck all. Welsh fans are part of the problem, as we view it acceptable to lose to SH.

Why won't America start playing rugby properly? Think how huge their team could be.

Welsh fans need to stop all the bs. Our team is not great. Respectable at best.

BigRedCube wrote: So a 1 point loss is not a proper challenge?

No, since NH teams do have better penalty kickers. This gives NH teams effectively a 12 point start against SH.

henry wrote: That's because our players only play soft NH rugby. If they played against NZ more they'd be like Robocop, immune from injury and hurt.

Well exactly. Steve Hansen could pick the same team for every match. Must wonder about Welsh preparation for there to be so many injuries.

No serious person can disagree with this. The RWC has proven it.

I just want to acknowledge the efforts of the Wallabies side - I say this sincerely. They've impressed me the entire tournament, and are worthy finalists in 2015. I'm sure the side will bounce back harder than ever next year, and with a bit more experience behind them, they will be even tougher to ...

Rugby needs NFL players to take up the sport so that we have better competition from USA & Canada.

Otherwise the Aussies and AB's are gonna keep dominating this sport.

The potential for USA rugby team is huge.

So what can I do now? Feeling a little depressed. Like when you come back home from a top holiday and know you have work tomorrow.

Good man. Just NFL it till February.

I'm tired of all the ready-made excuses for poor Welsh displays. The 'injuries' one is the most laughable. We would not have beaten SH even with all our first pick players. When Halfpenny got injured the excuses started already but in his place we had a comparable kicker so he was not missed. Stop i...

That mentality damages us. England are crap and beating them is no achievement nowadays. It would if that were the mentality. Our world cup was a par but only because injuries robbed us of any chance of progression. that string of results with a largely fit squad would have represented failure. A S...

yes they LOST. I no longer care about brave, close defeats. Nor should serious Wales fans tolerate this.

big_bruv

Good post henry. The gap in standard is really big

big_bruv

Even a poor SA team put Wales out. Welsh rugby is in crisis folks.

big_bruv

Fellow Welshmen, let's get real. The only half-decent team we beat were England, who were poor. We're about the same low standard as them. Last world cup we only made semis as we had a NH team in the QF. We just can't beat SH teams in Autumn tests and certainly not in away tour matches (we have AB's...

Stop this.

big_bruv

Not interested in this man-hating thread.

big_bruv

In this RWC we've learned that the NH teams are nowhere near the four SH teams. Apart from the English in 2003, NH teams have not put up a proper challenge. As a Welshman, I wish we'd wake up. Yes we have world class penalty kickers who give us a 12 point start but we always lose. I'm glad we did no...

At least the Irish rugby team made someone smile, that's something.

You are immediately my best friend. About time proper Welsh fans told the truth.

big_bruv

Wales appreciation threads, which big up the latest Welsh failures, should be banned. Regards, a Welsh fan.

Indeed, he's made of teflon. I don't want to think about our tour to NZ next year.

6N have been humiliated in this world cup by the 4N. Home advantage brings no advantage when you have a shitter team.

big_bruv

Gatland is also relieved.

big_bruv

I like your Welsh Patagonia flag

big_bruv

They could bring on Maradona now

big_bruv

ten minutes left! But you're probably right.

big_bruv

Go pumas, then my "NH nations are sh*t" thesis will be proven correct.

big_bruv

Wales have made no serious impact on RWC. The Semi-final last time was as a result of beating... Ireland. When did Wales last beat a tier 1 SH side in the RWC?

Clive wrote:Its not going to happen, Wales punch well above their weight.

What weight would that be in your estimation? I disagree.

big_bruv

We settle too easy on beating England every couple of years. None of the SH coaches we've had - Gatland, Henry, Hansen have delivered serious parity with the SH nations.

big_bruv

We have a 6N and a tour to NZ coming up. We need a fresh approach. Gatland era should be terminated. Join me in this call, my fellow Welshmen.
