Autumn Test 2024 : Wales v Australia
-
A sad day for Wales. Well played Wallabies.
-
Great to see the Wallabies in this sort of form
-
@game_film that's never going to happen, he knows no one else will be paying him 600k a year.
-
Wales just don’t have the forwards. Will be competing with Italy to avoid the wooden spoon.
-
If theres one player i would take in a heart beat from the Wallabies to insert into an ABs team it would be Bobby V
-
@sparky needs to do the honourable thing
-
Never physically in the contest today (apart from briefly in the 2nd quarter)
Next week is going to be painful indeed.
I was offered a ticket for the SA game, not going to bother - I'd rather poke myself in the eye -
-
@Steven-Harris It's not entirely his fault and some of those defeats were brave and honourable, but there has to be accountability for that run of results. The buck stops with the coach. Time for Gatland to step aside and let a younger, hungrier coach have a chance.
-
Garland is well past his use by date. His brand of rugby was successful a decade ago.

@Jet Time for a fresh voice, like Matt Sherratt or Dwayne Peel.
Toby Booth would be ideal for me, he turned the ospreys around totally changing the culture there.
Gats has been a good coach but that was nearly a decade ago, rugby has changed.
Wales don't have the players to complete right at the top end that much is obvious but even many of our better players seem to be going backwards performance wise. -
Great turnaround by this Wallabies team after the embarrassment of losing to Argentina by a record score just a couple of months ago. Plenty of young talent to get excited about, and they have the right man to lead them in Joe. Suddenly the Lions series isn't looking like a foregone conclusion anymore.

-
They certainly need a coach that doesn’t depend on a few big munters carting it up and then feeding off the chaos.

Well another test watched in pub here in Wales, and the overriding feeling of the patrons there seemed almost sadness. Most there seemed real invested rugby people, all I think were former players etc (even an ex Welsh captain), not real anger, or blaming Gatland, but saddened with how the game has shrunk etc in the country.
I have feeling Gats isn't the problem, but should maybe go to allow the players a chance to mentally refresh. You get impression they have lost all confidence.
