wales are in this Mote than that, I reckon we're just about shading the play. The difference between this team and previous iterations under Gatland is that we'd have never made it with 5 metres of the line 3 times and not come back with points. We've done enough for at least one more try, but the ...

No one seems to have mentioned that outrageous take from Dyer. He's made some mistakes, but if he can clear them up in his game, he's going to be some player.

Nothing wrong with that ffs.

There's your first guaranteed Russell fuckup for the day.

Our front row is so immobile. We're constantly using them as one out runners, but Scotland can make a cup of tea in the time it takes them to catch the ball, run, and then engage the defensive line.

Reffell making a difference already.

Well hello Jethro..

Hello!

Nothing wrong with turnover. Brace is a shite ref.

They couldn't handle the white hot intellectual heat of those that remained.

I reckon the Dragons would have put up more of a fight. Are thr Scarlets now officially the worst region in Wales?

Anywho, old Carwyn looks like an absolute unit. Would like to see him in a game/team on the front foot.

Certainly was a good win. The centres went well and Myler has been an excellent signing. The locks were good and Lydiate tackled everything. North back in form will mean a 1/2p, North and Adams back 3. North's defence with people getting on his outside is still there though Myler has been the signi...

Yeah, that's absolutely fucked the Scarlets.

Shades of Max Boyce's "strangest dream of all", last night I dreamt that Wales won the RWC, beating NZ 34-20 in the final. Sadly it wasn't revealed to me when this will happen nor who was in the team. I don't think I've had a rugby related dream before. https://media.tenor.com/images/bdd7...

So, back to the good old days this weekend, with the regions putting in various degrees of solid shifts, and the Dragons being the embarrassment of Wales.

Dire isn’t it? Newcastle chasing the game and they think the best tactic is kicking tennis. Was thinking the same thing. Their attack has been absurdly deep as well. Easy pickings for the Blues defence. And with that, the Blues seal the win with a decent maul. Decent performance from the Blues, but...

Quality stuff. Tomos' passing has been a bit ropey, but that was good following up.

Well done Dragons! I must admit, when Glasgow went over, I turned off the TV...and genuinely thought someone was taking the piss when I saw someone else congratulating the Dragons.

Got to love that young Welsh backrow. Great performance.

That's just bizarre. Is Ollie Griffiths injured (again)?

15. Leigh Halfpenny – Missed a sitter, and generally didn’t do a lot all round. 4/10 14.

That's a bit cryptic. Is this morce code for 'GET HELP'? If so, blink once for yes, and two for no.

Wales gave away 16 penalties. SIXTEEN! You're right...maybe I should take another point off everyone! To be fair to us, though, Geoff, we have a fine tradition of failing to show up for away games. The fact that today we managed to screw the nut and grind out the win is a massive step forward for u...

15. Leigh Halfpenny – Remarkably, he didn’t appear to make one tackle from the official stats. A stat that speaks to the general insipidness of the other overall game. 4/10 14. Liam Williams – Apart from one up and under he regathered, he never got into the game. 4/10 13. Jon Davies – There are a nu...

I’ve just remembered that history will record this as the day the WRU unleashed SLH upon an unsuspecting rugby world... the Japanese have Godzilla... Hollywood has King Kong... now the Welsh have their own, giant icon of destruction and reckless savagery... who can stand in his way? Who can defy hi...

Nice big front 5. Wainwright is not quite at his best so can't complain about the switch to SLH - good problem to have with those two and Moriarty, or even Navidi, all options at 6. It's good to see that in Wales' hour of need, they've turned to a Rhondda boy to make it work. It's the wrong Rhondda...

Fairly disappointing. Hard to know whether score is a fair reflection. France were clearly the better team, but Biggar left 8 points on the fielder, and we fucked up on their try line with that quick tap towards the end. Add in that France has that one opportunistic try, and the game could have been...

He'll probably do something daft now, but I've been impressed with Carre. Been one of the few who's managed to match the French for physicality, and largely held his own in the scrums.

Who's fullback?

The Frogs are getting pinged for it, but not half as much as they should...they are going long at every ruck, almost always off their feet.

For every time they don't get pinged, our ball is irrevocably slowed down.

Is it me, or have France won the kicking battle as well? Consistently finding spots in between our catchers and kicking further than us.

Anyone explain our defence pattern outside of shite Utter bollocks? It's some sort of rush defence with Tipuric seemingly being given 'shooter rights' to do whatever he pleases. Works when you can control the tempo and you are on the front foot in defence, but when on the back foot it creates, well...

How long has Pivac got left on his contract? Too long. He's our David Moyes Everyone said it at the time but why you wouldn’t give Shaun edwards the 4 years he wants god knows. 1 year left, lucky we’re a top seed. Who can replace him who is realistic do we think? Scott Robertson would be the obviou...

Getting beat up on the gainline. We're working our bollocks off to tackle them, and they are still making yards beyond the tackle...whereas they are stopping us with ease, and then turning us over with near impunity.

Faletau running the dummy line made that. Standard moves like that usually have the second wave of forwards crashing onto it at speed.

Straight of the training paddock.

This has actually been a really good win for the Ospreys, even if the performance wasn't that flash. The Ospreys were a special kind of wank last season without their internationals, so any win against anyone is a big thing. Osprey's slower but meatier pack finally got on top, and Myler has been an ...

And just to make my point, he makes an outstanding turnover on his own line...then from the subsequent line out, misses his man, and Glasgow are back on the Ospreys line.

If Lake could sort his darts out, he'd be a nailed on international.

Thoroughly enjoyed it (got disturbed half way through so had to watch the second half on delay). Whenever I see teams give it the All Blacks in the first 20, my initial thought is that they won't be able to do this for the full 80...but the Wallabies did it. Was very impressed with their newcomers, ...
