I think Wales have been storing up issues for the future not giving youngsters enough game time both pro 14 and international.
Pro14 is all kids, not sure you watch much or always habe one eye shut
Aus by 26 AA - you really do need private frazer!
The kids - thats the opposite way to you were arguing over Biggar. I said moving him on could allow a younger chap ( name won't come to mind now) to gain valuable experience. You want to keep all the older stars in wales
You can't have it both ways
I reckon Aus will win by more than two scores, if not significantly more. Not convinced Scotland will have the easy win some here seem to predict either.
I agree about Scotland although our weakness in the front row will be worse against teams with better scrums. It will be a tough game. Could go either way. Scotland could run riot if we get a purple patch - quite capable of scoring multiple tries in a short time but equally capable of getting caught out. Scotland will play a high risk high reward type game and when it goes wrong it goes wrong badly
Ireland SA is the one I can't call. SA getting much better - although that isn't hard!!

Davies gets plenty of game time.
You wont attract crowds by getting rid of the best players and you wont develop younger players as well if they have no better players to learn from.
I'll go for...
Italy by 3
Samoa by 3 .... sadly we have too many injuries!
England by 24
Aus by 16
Ireland to draw
NZ by 18
Hmmph I'm Scottish I'll settle for a win of any description.
given the matches overlap which will be the best to watch? Obviously I have to watch scotland - its a compulsory exercise in self flagellation so only get the last 1/2 hr of the england game but Wales / aus or ireland /SA?
Whats the best entertainment?
I reckon Wales v Aussies will be the one TJ - lets hope hope Toony can work some magic with our depleted squad today.
Reckon now Samoa ru is broke. We could offer a few grand for them not to break our players. We'll keep it close just don't hurt us.
Admit I am disinterested in this weekend’s games. Have a lunch with friends so won’t be watching. Even when I had my debentures I didn’t bother paying £80 a ticket to watch this sort of laregly pointless friendly. Argentina always tough and its quite wet this moring. England will get the job done but its will be difficult as it usually is. A lot depends upon the reffing of the scrum.
Just realised I'd got England's fixtures wrong.... we're playing Australia not Fiji next week.
Tiggs - its not that depleted bar the front row.
Of first choices in their position who is missing? ( bar the front row)
Big Ritchie - pretty irreplaceable
Scott and Bennett in the centres - we have good quality replacements. Back 3 perhaps Maitland will be missed
Whats the best entertainment?
If you want to see a close compeitive game netween two good side...I reckon the Ireland SA match.
I have my boys 7th b'day party sleep over starting at 4 so I dont have to watch Wales v Aus!!!
This may have been asked already but I can't see it - is the Ireland game on tv anywhere? I can't find it on my box!
England and Ireland games all live on Sky - England games have BBC highlights same evening.
Scotland and Wales games all live on BBC - Wales games also live on S4C and Scotland games also live on BT Sport
France and Italy games all live on Premier Sport - France games get a full replay on Freesports same evening
Stolen from gwlad
Plenty of steaming sites available if you want to watch.
Ta a_a. Now down to the box to work out why I'm being blind!
I'll send you a recording Aa so you don't miss out 😉

You are all heart!@!
Nel broken his arm...
Thats shit. What else did I miss whilst blowing up balloons?
confirmed? FFS we are now down to one TH!
Gawd save us from Stuart Barnes.
Lovely try from England
With the current player safety laws, and Brown landing on his head, the Arg 15 was sh@@ting himself as the ref went to his pocket. I think he "tried" to catch the ball but was never going to. The ref said he landed on his shoulder, but it was definitely head first.
I'm only following the txt of the SCO game, but the scoreline looks impressive. Consistently winning games that 5 years ago you didn't.
6N could be good this year!
Scotland getting the job done.
England game is t that exciting. Hughes took his try nicely though. Slade seems to have woken up a bit as the half went on.
Will be interesting to see how Daly goes at fullback. Brown past the ball once before we went off! Ford’s kicking is still a lottery though.

I got one right1
fantastic game - really exciting. Loads of tries, fightback from Samoa, Scotland hold on for the win.

for me its either no penalty - the Argentinian went for the ball [b]or[/b] red - he landed on his head. If the ref thinks he didn't land on his head then its pen no card as he landed on his front / arm
Presumably Brown's head is considered equal to everyone else's shoulder in terms of potential for damage. Which seems reasonable.
Bit of a dull game. Eddie looks annoyed.
England at least not looking rusty and will build.
Underhill cemented his place today,but not a lot of go forward from anyone other than Hughes.
England v Aus? Money's on Australia at the moment.
I only saw bits of the England game but looking at the stats Argentina had all the possession and territory. Where did England win the game?
Again in the bits I saw England did not seem to be competing the breakdown at all. Is that right?
BTW - Scotland / Samoa had 11 tries 🙂 Now thats what I call entertainment! Samoa have some really dangerous runners and Scotland had no answer to the pick and go done at pace. Swinson remains a liability - what does he have on Toony to keep getting selected? Nice Cameo from Peter Horne - he is turning into a competent replacement for Russell
Big shout out to Samoa - they have learnt discipline. No horrid tackles. Very good display from the ref as well
NZ next - they are toast 😉 We are world beaters -
whats that you say Private Frazer - we're doomed you say?
Where did England win the game?
Twickers... 🙄
Wales win the anthems as always
When Argentina play it tight, they must be horrible to play against. Samoa offer nowhere near the same organised structure they do. We weren't great, but good enough. Solid scrum, great line out, tackled well. The back line looked unsettled, which it was. Next week will be Youngs Ford Daley, Farrell, JJ, Watson, Brown.
Kryton - very helpful 🙂
You know what I meant
This Wales/Aus game should be great if it carries on
Love Jiffy complementing Wales conceding a try. Trying to out do Andy Nicoll
Jiffy really does need to lay off the booze/crack pipe pre match!
Wales determined to do things the hard way today...
