Wales v Georgia
-
So LRZ playing because he can't play next week as the Australia match is outside the Test Window.
We know what Tompkins can do, so rested to allow Watkin and North to build a rapport ahead of the Australia match (Tompkins is another of our England based players, so out next week too).
Christ is injured and can't play next week (Exeter)
Dafydd Jenkins gets a go before returning to Exeter
Why no Reffell? He can't play next week (Gloucester) so would have been nice to see him get a run
The selections now make sense(ish)

@MiketheSnow What can you tell us about the two new young loose forwards Morgan and Macleod? Their stats suggest mobility over size?

Both have been very good at club level.
Morgan has been good so far for Wales
Very strong over the ball. Good ball carrier.
Macleod is arguably the closest thing to Faletau. His opportunity to prove it.

MacLeod has played very little rugby at all in the last year due to injury & hasn't played at 8 for a few years (and then only as cover).
Strange selection by Pivac here with Moriarty, Wainwright and Botham all omitted from the squad for this autumn despite being far better than Macleod at 8. -

Botham should have been in the squad

Pivac doing his best Foster impression.
Hope you have not been unduly influenced by the Fern!

@Stargazer said in Wales v Georgia:
Why is Wales playing in a black jersey and ugly green shorts? Red jerseys don't clash with Georgia's white.
It's a bit bizarre, isn't it?
-
Georgian 15 looks a bloody handy player. Excellent defence and dangerous in attack
-
Money re shirts
We are poor
-
That’s better
-
We have so many decent strike runners but continually fail to get any of them into space.
No creativity at all. -

Awful isn't it.
-
Next Welsh attack coach should be a league man
Backline creativity and penetration in league is light years ahead of this shit
-
My brother’s reply
Wheelchair rugby league has more penetration than our back play
-
I think this puts into context Pivacs coaching credentials
-
Georgia have the sniff
Come on Georgia
-
Haircut makes the kick!
-
Reckon Wales could do with Warburton right now
-
Shit oh dear a win for Georgia!
