The players will mutiny against him on his first weekend.
Probably not anymore given the foreign influence amongst the players.

Anyway, exciting game. Taffs did well not to concede another.

Not playing England last week should help the French with the second half too

Hard to believe there isn't a better Welsh 12 out there. Gatland must be hooking the boys up.

Only 9 points back after playing like that.

Flush the dunny and get back on track - 9 points is nothing

They're less dangerous to you than France.
Possibly. But I'm of the view that Wales has a better chance against SA than France. I actually like the way the Welsh backs play. They look more like natural fluid rugby players rather than the other backs I see playing in the NH sides.
Maybe you'd like Wales to win today so they then get rid of SA who might be a danger to you, and then they get easily humped by NZ in the final? Would make sense then you supporting them today.
F* you're cynical. Maybe those motivations you speak of say more about you than me?

He needs to ask his forwards why they're just watching France play and then reacting instead of playing rugby themselves. And he needs to ask while weilding a stick. Otherwise they could be out of this World Cup.

The Welsh forwards haven't turned up.

This narrative has been out there for 12 months but has not played out in matches I have watched.

Sometimes France have been dross altogether, sometimes their opponents have been just better but I've not seen the French run out of gas.

They have ditched some of the real fatties and have now been out in Japan for a good while, suspect their fitness lacks not much
