Wales were written off for this one (hope more than expectation may be fairer) but played pretty well to keep the game tight and not let Aus run wild. That said they had their chances and didn’t take them.
Others may disagree but all this lambasting of Robshaw not kicking points and no concerns on Wales not taking them either? It must have been really tempting to crack on with only 13 defenders up against you, but in a tight game more than any you take the points??? Aus didn’t seem to offer much but defended heroically and kept the scoreboard ticking over. Rule #1 of international rugby- keep the scoreboard ticking over. Maybe they just fancied their chances in a game that *didn’t really matter* I’m not sure.
Anyway, lets hope Liam hasn’t damaged his foot again and lets also hope Cuthburt gets cited for his knock on 😉 How long would it take to convert Lloyd Williams to a full time winger do you think? 😀
If Wales had cheated as successfully as Australia then I wouldn’t complain.
My thoughts exactly. One of the best exectuted was some very good tactical falling over the defensive ruck and letting the backrow have some more time to poach… or making damn sure they ran in to as many Welsh in the backline as possible in a very clever tacklingthemanoofhteballwithoutactuallytackling tactic. Fair play to them as it is all part of the game!
