Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread

Not just the place kicking, there were notable times we turned over ball in the last 10 and he couldn't get more than 40m on an infield kick, I'd expect any 10 to get the ball over the chasing back defence. I think we would've won by far more hard Jarrod played Fair point I think the fact that it w...

Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread

Happy with the pack, although of course disappointed not to have Navidi in there....assuming that change is enforced (if not then WTF). Just have to hope the pack do the job up front because that backline doesn't look like it's going to tear it up. Navidi is injured apparently. Interesting that Piv...

Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread

As rumoured. I'm not loving Lydiate back - but I hope, considering the criticism he's been taking from Ireland that he has an absolute blinder. At least he has been picked on form. I don’t like not seeing Jarrod in the 23. I like Sheedy but he’s too similar to Biggar to come on and change the game ...
