Re: The First Test
Well, there we are. Competitive for three quarters of the game, but once it comes to the death, NZ proved they are a class above us.

yep though Romano was ok. Whitelock is a class act- I just omitted him because he's not gone forever!Digby wrote:And Whitelock.Banquo wrote:Yep- and they miss McCaw, Nonu and Smith too....unsurprisingly!Digby wrote:

Typical of NZ that you play well against them and somehow lose by a decent number, typical of Wales to lose the plot in the lineout

Exactly. Scoreline is unfair, but they are still several levels above us.Digby wrote:Typical of NZ that you play well against them and somehow lose by a decent number, typical of Wales to lose the plot in the lineout

It's why I don't bother anymore. I'd rather see us play Georgia.UKHamlet wrote:Well, there we are. Competitive for three quarters of the game, but once it comes to the death, NZ proved they are a class above us.

Re: The First Test
Your boys played bloody well, though. The intent was great, the amount of ball Amos and North received is a good sign. If Eng perform like that in an hour I'll be happy.UKHamlet wrote:Well, there we are. Competitive for three quarters of the game, but once it comes to the death, NZ proved they are a class above us.

I expect England to win. It's refreshing to hear we didn't play gatball but I'm just bored of Groundhog Day.Mellsblue wrote:Your boys played bloody well, though.

Re: The First Test
Indeed- that was nearly a great performance by Wales; lineout and missed tackles ultimately cost, but you cannot fault the ambition or plan (well apart from losingMellsblue wrote:Your boys played bloody well, though.

Re: The First Test
A much, much more entertaining test than I was anticipating. Hopefully your siege gun boot first five put an end to our playing Savea & Naholo in tandem.
