In the first half Coleman, the Aussie lock, made more yards than the entire Welsh backline.

I made more yards and all I've been doing is shuffling from the sofa to the biscuit tin and back.

To the beer fridge.

Poor poor Wales.

Eddie Jordan must be licking his lips for Wales v England.

[Welshbeef]

No flair at all from Wales

No leaders

Or is it simply Oz are MUCH better preventing Wales having any chance?

Would be really pissed off if I had paid £65 to go and watch that shower of st.

For me
Ticket £65
Travel £40
B&b £120
Food and drink £250

Instead 5 beers on the sofa from Costco on special offer £0.72 each for ale.

What channel was this game on?

[Welshbeef]

Not seen any of it but fk me Ireland you have got your first ever win v the all blacks - praise doesn't come much higher.

It doesn't get much more surreal either... To go 111 years without a win, and then to record their first one playing a home game in Chicago!

I can imagine the Irish Free Statecwill be rocking all night long plus tomorrow.



Which channel was it on? Zilch on anything sky?

40 points on the ABs AND a win? Fabulous stuff, one for Axel that.

At long last they've caught up with Munster.

As a Welshman we have won 3 times - arguably a 4th which the NZ player confirmed on his deathbed that he cheated an prevented the win in the 1970's - I can only dream what it must feel like to beat the best.

Enjoy it - frankly the other games Who cares this ones is all that mattered.

I pity poor Italy on Sunday. There's going to be some pretty pissed off Kiwis running around a field looking to vent their frustration. Could be a bloodbath.

Fingers crossed for Parisse running 5 tries in.

Some interesting games today.

Its pouring with Rain in Reading - so assume Twickers will be a slippery muddy forward dominated affair. I wonder if the Principality stadium has had its roof closed or its open and they will play with it open?

Key games today.

Anyone got any good Internet feeds for the England game?

Thanks in advance

I've cancelled our sky sports .... grr this is the only time of the year I do want to use it.

England game has highlights on BBC 2 7-8pm

Is it bad I'm 4 beers on already?

[Welshbeef]

I thought AWJ was heroic yesterday.

While Gatland is on Lions duty I'd have like to have seen Wales give someone else a shot, or at least get involved in the set up. Howley has had a big say in the turgid play that has been coming out of Wales for years so why not give a different coach a shot?

Last time Gats was out our performance was dire - how can howled get it so badly wrong? Surely he is mentored by Gats so sinplg copy him job done.

Im off to the Fiji game Saturday with a free bar at The Shack beforehand. What could possibly go wrong?

Ending up in Swansea on the last train then have to sleeep on the station floor until the limited bus replacement service starts at 8am.

[Welshbeef]

Well my start to a boozy Rugby weekend has started HaRD yea baby.

[Welshbeef]

How about the WRU start to change the tired Wales team and give the youth opportunity.
Gethin is done time to move on.

These are great future options
Ben John, Dafydd Howells, Sam Davies, Keelan Giles, Sam Parry, Steff Evans, James Davies, Rhys Patchell, Jack Condy, Tomos Williams, Lewis Evans



But what about this:-
How about Moriaty at 6 if Flateau is fit and at 8 and Tips at 7? That's a pretty dynamic back row.

How about Sam Davies at 10 and Owen Williams 12 (Leicester).

Then have half penny and North on the wings with Alain full back.

I don't know the answer for Wales. But I am fairly sure it isn't Cuthbert.

When he is good he is good - however that is so rare at test level it's not worth while especially given the alternative options.

Wales simply need to stop going wide instantly every fking time they get he ball. Use the forwards go through the phases sap in defenders create the gaps then drift it wide.

Have dummy runners.

Don't waste 5-7mins easily on trying to get a try from a simple penalty. Either take it quickly tap and run or kick the 3. Restart and go again. Too many times Wales have been guilty of white line fever and don't think smart points first job done. Instead lose possession end up with zilch and a boosted opponent who kept you out and a demoralised team for letting it go.

Reports in the press today that Howley will be the Lions' attack coach.

Given Wales' last two performances I really, really hope that is incorrect.

You are fking kidding me.

I hope he is so Wales can get a decent coach to stand in.

Phud said:

If England don't want Roko, can Wales have him so we don't ever need to select Cuthbert again please.

Surely there's several hundred thousand of your own who'd be better than Cuthbert

The thing is he is strong at club level - what happens to his ability when he moves to Test level?

[Welshbeef]

Wales performance this series

V Oz ---- shocking.
V Pumas - the opponents were off their game and yet we kept allowing them back in. Poor. (Though held onto a win)
V Japan -- poor especially against much weaker opponents. That said somehow managed to get a win
V SA ....
