Sections of the Welsh media and pundits were very much in favour of the Georgians getting a shot against the six nations wooden spoon team not too long ago I'm sure. So I'm sure they'll be equally supportive now that Wales are in a position to make it happen. You mean Sam Warbuton who stated that y...

I see Labour are tackling the important things like woke (somehow) football kits. Such hope, such vision from the government in waiting. No wonder these fashy scumbags are gaining ground with the absolute state of the two main parties.

I think mark from kick off is worth a try. It's too easy to box a team in from kick off and competitive ball could make for a better game. Of course these things always have knock on effects as teams devise strategies around it and taking adv of unintended consequences but think it is worthy trying.

VDM went right off the last two games. Earl or Menoncello for me. He really did didn't he. The way the scots started the game vs Italy vs how they finished wasbizarre.

Haha fair enough. Agree Ireland should be a NATO member, not so sure about the need to have willy waving large military for such a small country.

I think he's exceeding expectations, don't see anybody doing better with the cattle. Agreed, the fact that they have stopped being whipping boys and are in fact a "dark horse" to beat the better teams in good games if not win a tournament is a huge step up. It's pretty clear they are quite reliant ...

2011/2012 was probably one of the best Welsh teams ever. They were Gatland ball without having to rely on all out defence so much and showed how nice that gameplan can actually be with the right personell.

I went to a red brick uni, I have a masters in engineering. Not sure what that has to do with you thinking you're an expert on every subject under the sun. Your claim of “expert” is ridiculous.

Yeah the days of in game "coaching" being stoppable are probably long gone. Should probably just be allowed at this point so long as it doesn't slow the game down. We would be denied some of Rassies funny antics though.

I was depressed by Wales yesterday. The Welsh crowd ecstatic with those last tries just reinforced that. Would you prefer they booed?

I think the dark horse narrative is bad for Scotland. They go into every tournament with a ready made excuse. But it is kinda true. They are not currently a team that is going to win titles outside some fluke. Maybe they could be a bit better but what do people think this teams ceiling really is?

Ramos at 10. Weird experiment. He played most of his season there for Toulouse. And he played very well against Wales. But that English rush defense got to him. Galthie wanted to test Barre as well. He was kind of largely responsible for Wales being in the game at all though, you can't defend like ...

I'd expect Wales to lose to Fiji and probably Japan too if played next week (and those sides had sufficient prep). Georgia would be smelling blood too.

Biggar did struggle in his last couple seasons for Wales but ultimately the whole team did and 10 is not a flattering place to be when the whole gameplan is going to shit. The idea he was not an excellent player for Wales throughout his career is a bit strange to me.

I always rated him more than many Ireland fans seemed to at times, excellent player.

Who the fark doesn’t rate Biggar? Quintessential test rugby player. The guy who wants Jarrod ‘can’t start for Harlequins’ Evans starting at 10 for Wales. And who states ‘I hate being right all the time’ and ‘why are the Welsh so thick’ with such depressing regularity you wonder if he’s an isolated ...
