I miss Ice.
Mils, Richie, Dan, Conrad Smith, good Read, Messam (at the Chiefs especially), and yes SBW too. I miss them all
It's such a come down to what we have to watch now
Absolutely. That pick up by Dan which led to Mils' try was awesome too.
because Dan is a god. just watch that split second of play. picks a rolling ball off his bootlaces, immediately jinks off the right to attract defenders, and then throws a very late pass as he's being hit that puts SBW in the perfect spot to draw 2 players. All off incredibly quick ruck ball, so with zero time for planning.
And outside him everyone had their depth perfect to run on to the ball.
And off a scrubbed pass from the ruck
Maybe our problems now are Smith's pass is too perfect?
We would have been shit between 2012 and 2015 if that was the case. The problems are definitely inside and outside of him

Josh Adams out of the first two tests because he broke WRU and Welsh Government rules when he went to a family gender reveal party over the weekend.
Fucking idiot
He should have been banned for going to a gender reveal party per se

@MiketheSnow deserves that for going to a gender reveal party under covid restrictions or not!

5 Paul Willemse, 4 Bernard le Roux
Saffas are the Fijian wingers of the 2nd row.
Then why haven’t we poached any...?

Cos they don't come here as teens to school tournaments, and thus schools miss out on the chance

@Machpants He's that good Eddie has dropped him. Maybe Eddie hasn't seen the vid

I'll put this in here. intéressante
I really hope Squidge is making a living from all this.
He's brilliant.

@Catogrande more likely doesn't need him against Scotland

@Machpants Ouch. Savage.
Mind you I am quite nervous about tomorrow's game. Everyone expects England to win but... this has banana skin written all over it.

That's a pretty strong Welsh team. Mike.
Interesting that Wales seem to be able to slot players in to replace retirees and injured players with minimal disruption to their game plans.

For me the Irish bench looks stronger.
Will the Cardiff hoodoo disappear without a crowd?
Getting excited about watching some rugby!

Biggar needs to have a massive game.
And whilst he's won us some matches he's not the answer in Pivac's system.
