Was thinking watching the game listening to the comments about Wales' lack of physicality yet Gats & his selection team have constantly overlooked someone like Ross Moriarty at 6 who would walk into the current side & at least offer a physical presence.
Some truly strange selections throughout the competition.

@Jailbreak7 don't think so tbh. I thought it was a step backwards at the time when he returned & he's done nothing to change my mind.
His contract is so big the WRU probably couldn't afford to sack him even if they wanted to. -
Jonathan Davies on Comms - Italy look better coached, he's not wrong.
-
@Billy-Tell we lack physicality hugely in this side, but plenty of endeavour. But if you're playing a physically stronger side it's going to be a long afternoon.

I'd be very surprised if Ireland don't score 40+ points this afternoon. -
Cracking Baba's backrow with Hooper and Tipuric in tandem. They're causing problems at the breakdown, no surprise there.

Kick it out
Fucking mental when their hooker can’t throw the ball
I don't think we've got one in Wales that manages it tbh 🤔🤣
-
England are doing a good job of dragging SA down to their level.
-
Don't think I can watch any more of Ben Earl celebrating every little thing like he's won the RWC without punching the TV. 🙄
-
@Machpants what's that mean? 🤔

Adams you twat

I’m glad Clive has lost none of his ability to be an arrogant cock even all these years later.
Time has only intensified that ability I'm afraid. 🙄
-
We've done well during the group stages but if Argentina can play anywhere close to their potential they'll win this game.
It's only a little over 12 months since they won in NZ. Which is something Wales have never managed.
I know that's not a true gauge of current form but it shows that if they click they're a handful for anyone.
Personally I hope they're as hopeless as they were against England again. 😁 -

Fiji look nervous
Pushing things a bit aren't they. I know they like the miracle offload but they're not playing as a team at the moment.
-
Shame Samoa butchered that breakaway in the last minute, that would've been a superb ending to the game.
-
NZ have been ultra clinical in the 1st half there, very impressive.
-
Why do Australia play in orange these days?
-
This could get very, very ugly. 😬
-
@MiketheSnow we never perform after multiple changes for whatever reason.
Too many passengers - Halfpenny, Lydiate and Anscombe offer nothing as test players these days.
I've no doubt we'll improve significantly against Australia though. -

@pooler-fan said in RWC Week 2: Wales v Portugal:
I must admit my last memory of a Portugal rugby side was when Wales beat them by 100+ points back in the 90's sometime.
I'd kinda dismissed this game as a nothing match where we'd play our back-ups & win at a canter. After watching Uruguay last night I had an uneasy feeling about this game, made worse by googling their recent results & seeing they only lost by 10 points against Italy last year.Stand down
We'll stuff them
🤔
I'm saying nothing 😂
