Pack has a hard edge to it....If a bit ponderous.
It would have a harder edge if our 3 best players were fit.
AWJ
Faletau
Warburton
Suprised to see Anscombe miss out

True. Plus Liam Williams too.
Mind you, how often do International sides have all of their best players to choose from? These days there are so many injuries that teams rarely pick from all their players.
(AWJ isn't unfit though, just unavailable, unfortunately)
Plus Liam Williams too.
i was just talking about the pack but Liam was our best back in June. 1/2p has looked poor when I've seen him play this season
Sam isnt unfit either just lacking match practise been sent to play against Zebre.

True but Wales have chronic lack of strength in depth.
The b**h bastard has gone! Good riddance.

Yeah it's been your problem for a while - 1st XV is great when they're all there. Mind you, even the ABs are looking weaker at lock with their top 3 missing.
I'm disappointed Liam Williams is missing. He was absolutely outstanding against the ABs. I'd have him as Lions fullback.
Halfpenny has hardly played so it's no wonder he looks out of sorts. However, he's still a quality player and is unlikely to do much wrong.
Tickets still available for Eng v Boks and Wallabies FYI
Just popping back into the rugby thread.
Are we going to get thumped by Aus tomorrow then or what?

This. Saw him at the AJ Bell the other week. He looked good, just uninspiring.

I would think so yes.
Is there anyway to get the Ireland v All Blacks game on UK TV?
Is it on skyspurts or not?
yes pete - pirate feeds. vipbox is one supplier. have good antivirus /anti pop up and beware popups with hidden close buttons do not download anything.
I [s]use[/s] have a friend who uses mobdro on [s]my[/s] his phone.
Good result for your lot last night TJ. Ospreys got humped by Munster. No suprise really. No 10 in the squad and a bench with 3 props and two hookers. Bit of a farce having a league game when internationals on imo.
Ospreys shut out in Cork, not good.
No 10, kids at lock, two grandads in the backrow and a bench made entirely of fatties. they had no chance

It's on BT Sport if you have it.
Yeah it was a very weak team.
Cool i have the bt sport app for a bit longer!!
Aye - not bad at all AA. Typical Edinburgh tho in that w ran up a good lead then almost threw it away. some good displays by the youngsters tho including a very makeshift and inexperienced front row.
AA - as regards Ospreys - its the WRU putting on extra games outside the international window thats the blame here - and all pro 12 teams have to cope with this anyway during the international window.
Indeed but The Ospreys have a shit load of dual contract players and internationals. Take Lydiate and Davies, they hardly play for their club, should they have recruited them or tried to pick up a few journeymen pro's who could play all season. Whats the priority for The Ospreys? Currently it seems like a place to give Team Wales players some game time before internationals.
Jiffy Jnr out. Hamstring, apparently.
Gah!
AA - a mix I would say. Glasgow is the team that loses most layers in internationals - last year 16 in the match day squad - dunno this year. I think its one of the issues with the welsh teams - they pay over the odds to keep the likes of Warburton and AWJ leaving no budget for squad players
also players develop once they get out of their comfort zone - Like Laidlaw wwhen he went south. Once they are established internationals mid / late 20s let them go to English / French clubs - gives you team places to develop new talent. Of course wales with 4 teams has more scope than Scotland with 2.
Is Scott Williams fit? Looks to have lost more than a few yards of pace but still better than North to 13 and Amos to wing....this could be ugly, very ugly
I like North in the centre - Gets into the game more.
Shame none of the wingers get the ball.
That stupid **** Gussett still hasnt bothered to learn Alun-Wyn Jones name despite him being a hundred times capped multiple test lion who has captained a lions winning test. Stupid ****ing ignorant ****wit

What did he say? I missed it.
His daft piece with him on the pitch talking about plays.."look at Wyn-Jones" ****

Aaaah! But we do get to call him Gusset. So it's not all bad.
What the hell are you doing there Dan Biggar, you muppet!
Saving a certain try?
Whch they got anyway (some 10 mins later). 🙁
So he saved one try? Fair exchange..plenty of shit play to criticise but that wasnt one of the huge number you could choose from.
This is going to be ugly.
🙁
Wales are just so predictable - and FFS why kick all your ball to the fullback?
All tge welsh pack apart from Moriarty look like they are running through treacle.
Team. Not just the pack.
Horror show 😯
AUS playing very well especially the planned back moves, but Blimey Wales coming off third best here.
Will we see a last gasp Welsh comeback?
Oh dear, perhaps not.
Very one sided
Howley has done it again!!
