Jmothecat2 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Miserable. I'm not really a rugby fan but to me there are too many points for penalties and drop goals compared to tries. It feels like tries aren't rewarded enough and penalties are over rewarded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 To begin with getting into the principality was a nightmare queue for just over an hour to get in. Atmosphere was fairly decent. The performance was shocking. I was behind the posts and the size of the gaps Welsh players were running through time and time again was ridiculous. Jonny Gray, huw jones and maybe Hogg and Watson had ok games. Cian Harris and price were poor. I felt Russel was kicking and spraying passes around that just weren't working and the handling errors were shocking. The intercept try just completely stole the wind from our sails and we never recovered. Wales I thought didn't play well but then again I don' think they needed to. If they play like that against England or Ireland they will lose. If we play the way we did we can receive wooden spoon. Let' hope Townsend sorts them out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem wi Scotland is that we have an unfortunate tendency for producing self loathing cretins. They get called unionists by folk when they use polite speak . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we will pull a couple of surprises out the bag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I'm really struggling to find positives from yesterday and enthusiasm for rest of tournament. Are the autumn internationals just played at half pace without full mental fortitude? If not, why do Wales always get done by Oz in Cardiff. We have talent but we seem to lack leadership and any kind of toughness. We also panic when we go behind but we didn't against NZ. So many questions, so many contradictions and tbh feel really flat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many questions, so many contradictions and tbh feel really flat Me too mate. Actually watched a recording of it after the football, f**k knows why I went through the entire 80 minutes. Price, McGuigan, Harris, Russell and Du Preez all stand out for the wrong reasons. Would start with Laidlaw without hesitation for France, he may be an unfashionable scrum half but by Jesus did we miss his leadership yesterday. Think someone asked the question whether we'd have been 14-0 down with him on, and I've got to agree it's very unlikely. Is Strauss injured? Du Preez had the presence of a fucking toddler. Harris was way out of his depth, anyone know of Dunbar/Bennett/Taylor's current fitness? Would also start with Maitland over McGuigan. Whilst McGuigan was feeding off scraps the entire game, his running off decent counter attacking ball was extremely poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy Blonde Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Strauss fell out of favour with Townsend a while back, which is a shame since we're not exactly flush with hard hitting, ball carriers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
