He's a fucking womble that one, embodying what I hate most about the tribalism of llanelli. Rule of thumb, any opinion Dr Dickbutter has, best listen to the exact opppsite, you'd be a rich man betting against him

if Pivac is still in the job does he play his best hand against Georgia? who will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing us in freefall.

Fuck me that was as poor as it can get, hard to see where we go from here, Pivac selections are utter shit.
So tonight that was a try once more lads giving faith to players who didn't' deserve another chance.

Selection was wrong. Wyn Jones showed he's our top loose head, Elias looks out of sorts, Gareth Davies was outplayed by Lloyd Williams... But beyond that it's hard to point to anything that is working. Humphreys looking a poor choice based on set piece, breakdown was better second half but still shoddy, too much kicking... And badly. We just look lost.

Carre could be a great player but his strength is carrying and handling and he never got a chance to do that. Our wings barely got a chance... Couple of runs that were ok, but more often than not the ball went up. It looks clueless.

By giving away 2 scrum pens? Nah he joined a long list including my Nan in showing he's a better scrummager than Carre, along with 3 Cardiff LHs, 3 Ospreys looseheads and 2 Turk losseheads

Those scrum pens were bullshit. Ref had made his mind up first half and just called things in the same direction.

Elated, planning has started for the 'fuck off turks' leaving party.

Tomos, Jarrod, Willis, Botham, Lane have all been declared fit with Ellis back in contact training for Cardiff.

Happy to see, with none selected originally, we'll probably end up with Cardiff SHs at 1 & 2 by the end of this autumn.
This 38 elite idea is getting shitter by the day.

Waiting to see what Rowlands offers that welsh players like Beard or Turnbull don't?

According to Wiki Carre has appeared in 29 senior matches, excluding internationals. I guess that means he's probably only played the equivalent of a dozen or so full games. It's crazy that someone in that position is regarded as one of the top two or three in his position. In the good old days we'd have a grizzled veteran to call on.

Rowlands was shite last night and against the Scots. SLH was a positive but Foxy looks done. Watkin offers nothing and wouldn't be surprised if AWJ calls it day at the end of this quest for cash tournament

Well yes but while AWJ is playing it’s good fun watching people foam at the mouth at the idea of his going on the Lions tour.

Carres not a good scrummager, but Gatland had him competing.

I think Pivac is shit, but thats due to his appointed assistants not his coaching ability. Jones, Humphreys and Hayward were all selected for one reason, they're welsh, end of.

I fear if there is a welsh coach quota, there won't be much anyone can do

Privac just needs eighty odd games in the job to turn us around, according to squidge.

Then we will be incredible.

No,he adds bulk and we need a shake up.
Georgia and Saes will tear us a new one in the scrum.

Time to experiment and blood new players, ffs LLoyd Williams looked a classobove Cawdor yesterday.
Carre can not start a match atm, our hookers are gash. Second rows not funcioning.
Back row unbalanced half backs pedestarian. Foxy too old too slow, Watkins gash. Sanjay needs to be FB, RZ needs to start.

No shape and very poorly coached atm, what fecking defence,what fecking set peice, what fecking back row cohesion, what fecking ballcarriers, and to capt it all our goal kicking is gash

Well at least we won't have anyone playing for the Lions next year. Every Cloud etc.


Rugby these days seems to be all about putting out a great 40 minutes after playing defensively, staying within reach and trying to convince the opposition that we are headless and shit, whilst drawing them into a false sense of security..and then surprise attack..boom, we were awesome rugby rope'adope gods all along.

At least we do the first bit well.

Just need to not be completely shit at the last bit.

Good win for the cyclops' last night. Wonderous what an effective, fast, ball player at 15 and a fast winger can do for you off set piece atatck. The venice beach munckin let himself down waving connacht kick chasers through during the night, but Mcnichol was very good. Hard to see why close to a million is being spent on two players whom are neither nearly as effective as he was

Halaholo needs his first cap for Wales.

LRZ needs to play.

Ball over Rowlands.

Liam at 15.

Anyone but Biggar at 10.

Will Grif is a beast and should be in for a shout.

SLH has the 6 jersey on lock.

WRU really can't afford to layoff Pivac just yet and we're nowhere near at competing for the VI nations anytime soon, so feck it roll the dice it's about time we stopped relying on the old guard
