Echoes of warburton and his inability to commend any other welsh open side, especially those superior like tipuric Warburton was miles better than Tipuric. Peak Warburton was better than peak Tipuric. Especially before the Breadman retired, I always thought Tips went a bit missing in big heavy enco...

My mate's kid works for the Welsh FA, and they share the Vale Training complex. Gats lives in a flat in the grounds and the roads are narrow and weaving. Doesn't stop Gats tearing it up in his car.

Randomly my YouTube threw up the full match of Wales v Fiji at the 2011 RWC last night. You watch that and see how we play and the personnel available and then compare to now and the difference is horribly stark. We had two decent props.

The French subs came over to congratulate while the ball was being grounded last night. Would be funny if it was chalked off for them obstructing England from attempting to stop the try being scored. Whilst I didn't see that incident. If indeed French reserves were in the in goal area BEFORE the tr...

Costelow getting a 2/10 might be the most generous ive ever seen a score 3, 3 touch finder pens he overcooked, 3 critical pens to give Wales momentum and possession deep in the Italy half he f**ked up in a game Wales lost by 3 points. The last time I saw a display as shameful at 10 was probably Arw...

Dan Biggar was a good defender, Jamie Roberts and Scott Gibbs were good defenders as was Alan Bateman.

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.

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.

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 ...

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...

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.

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.
