Rugby 2024-25

Another weekend coming, hopefully another step closer to Garlands sacking…picking a backline of midgets including a guy at 15 who has never played a pro game at 15(and is a midget) v SA is………bod

Meanwhile Scotland Aus looks like game of the weekend. I hope Scotland can throw off their perennial underachievers title and get a win. Two exciting teams, could be a classic.

France Argentina was a good watch last night, shame it’s only Ireland Fiji today..looking forward to Scotland Aus tomorrow…nothing to see here, move along….

SA at a point per minute so far.

Who they playing?

Can I just say now though, before it gets lost Dewi Lake is some **** player.

Who they playing?

I don’t know but whilst they are fighting hard they are also starting to tire and make stupid choices

Wales 12 South Africa 45 .  It could have been a lot worse.

Hopefully enough to see Gatland go…shame he has bought some great times to Welsh rugby but his time has passed.

If you want Tandy you can’t have him

Don’t won’t him thanks

A change of coach isn’t going to make a rat’s arse of difference.

The Welsh system is broken.

The Welsh system is broken.

This.
Not enough done at grass roots to encourage kids to play. Too many stupid rules that stifle their enjoyment when they do play, especially at age grade, and an academy system that appears to be designed to destroy players rather than help them.
25% today’s squad don’t play for Welsh regions. That must tell ‘the system’ that something is wrong.

It would make a bit, not a massive amount but some.

Meanwhile complete lack of class from Tuipoloto, coming in to float over Nd start a bundle with the injured player…

Cracking performance by Scotland, I worried for them when the big Aussie ball carriers got going early but the pack hung in there and Russell steered them around the park well.

Scotland are always going to score tries but that was a really good defensive showing from them

Superb, amazing what a settled team, with a cohesive gameplan and good coaching can do.

Bloody hell, regardless of the scoreline, England and especially JVP are so slow I don’t know how they are getting away with it.

 amazing what a settled team

Thats whats made the most difference to Scotland. Until recently the entire team played for two club teams in the same league (almost). They were used to playing with or against each other weekly. Now thats beginning to break down with players moving ‘abroad’ will they keep it together? I hope so as I do enjoy a trip to Murrayfield!

Thoughts to Tom Voyce (Wasps/England)  friends and family as it appears Tom has been carried away in a flooded Ford attempted crossing presumed dead.

Sad times.

Bloody hell that’s awful
