He was proven to be past it/out of touch when he had his stint in NZ. He lost every game with the Chiefs didn’t he? And then got swiftly moved on. Then he got the first flight back to Cardiff sniffing around for his old job back. Taking punditry roles when Pivac was on his last legs etc. He’s been ...

Again, far too generous on Tomos. He did some eye-catching stuff, but fundamentally his basics are comfortably the worst of the 6 scrum halves in this tournament. His pass and decision-making at the base is so slow at times, that it's killing any momentum we have. When he gets the passes away, they...

I envisioned better days with the Hansen era. There was something there. Something to work with. Something building. Not with the current lot. We’re in the death spiral. If you were the CEO, would you have accepted his resignation? And is a new coach the answer? It's absolutely shocking to me that ...

Agree. Shaun Edwards for France v italy too.

Whereas I disagree, and i don't believe there would've been any material difference had Biggar played(i.e we still would've ended up with a wooden spoon) mainly because I think the recent history shows the belief that Biggar provides this leadership and 'ability to see games out' is a fallacy, our ...

Welsh rugby fans ignore the 20 years of self interested clubmen f**king the game over for their own short term small interests, no it must be the coaches fault.

I would swap out every single Oz flyhalf since Latham for Dan Biggar, while Ainscombe generally played on the bench in super rugby. Its generally accepted in Wales that Anscombe is better than Biggar. He can play flatter and has more of a skillset. But Biggar is a very fine player too, and is prett...

He's not wrong

Oz won the RWC in 1999. So its not comparing like for like.

Yes, but at east that was due to external influences. Our best players went to League. We lost nearly all our first team. Now its down to lack of player development.

LandOTurk

Well done, Italy. The scoreline flattered Wales. 21-7 was about right. The amount of errors and bad decisions was just terrible. Costelow was awful. Played like a 10 with no confidence, playing for a region that has an awful head coach, on a shrinking budget that is low on confidence, for a national...

Nice draw for Liverpool. If they do make it through to the final, it could be against Alonso's Leverkusen.

Evans has the try v Scotland in 88
Williams has the try v South Africa in 08

The one for the Lions.

But for Wales, what are the options?
Ireland 2012?
France when his Dad jumped him?

Its all good guys. Common sense has prevailed. Ieuan could finish. If there was the slightest chance of a try, he would nearly always score. A proper poacher. And that is the most important role of a wing to be able to finish off a move. I think it was his acceleration that made the difference and r...

Precisely. In terms of wings who have also done the business for the Lions, maybe Dafydd James also comes close in the professional era? North played in good Welsh teams, unlike Ieuan. He was an unbelievable finisher. Just a sniff and he scored. Same for JJ. North and James were first pick for the ...

Above North ..... Shane, Gerald, JJ, Ieuan
And Hal Luscombe.

Don't forget Mark 'worst try to appearance ratio of any winger ever' Jones.

He was still better than Hallam Amos, the antithesis of Ieuan. Always seemed to find a way not to score.

Like absolute fvck would I pick Ieuan - legend tho he be - over prime North. Gerald for sure. Shane for sure. Then it gets tricky. Precisely.
