@Victor-Meldrew A what, 22yo? Yelling at his teammates for mistakes and making his shitty boy band hair quiver all the fucking time. He does small baby crying endlessly at least as good as Jonny and then cherry on tops it with the other shit.
I agree.
But Sexton's face is way more slappable. In a class of it's own.

I hope the dire anything goes refereeing in this match is not seen in RWC. Zero policing of offsides obstruction and highshots. Players were taking the mickey in getting ahead of the kicker...
Can't see point in England playing a third xv in this match. The Welsh loosies were so dominant the English barely put up a fight. Will be hard for Borthwick to select his squad now.

Taine Plumtree was on the winning side and join the long-list of Kiwi Welsh internationals.
Born in Wales
Fuck off

Light years better than Hometown Ben

Started enjoying my adult beverages at about the 45 min mark
Comfortable in the end
England bereftDombrandt has gone backwards at a rate of knots
Smith likewise
We were fit, well coached, well disciplined (see fitness and coaching)
Rather be us than England
-
Oh and if Darcy’s try was a try, then LRZ’s should have been too
Consistency ffs -

Yeah it was pretty odd to play a warm up match with a bunch of guys who might play the minnows but a number who won't even do that.

I see a lot of English "supporters" bemoaning the change in coaches and this performance, but I feel that England played with some expanse and enterprise, they just lacked accuracy, especially in the 22. Score could easily have been much closer.
-
Yes handling errors in the first half when we had some ball and a bit of ascendancy cost us, but come the end we looked bereft of of a plan or even any ideas. Wales deserved winners.

@MiketheSnow next week will be interesting in the return fixture just to see how both coaches approach the game.
Wales need to keep Jac Morgan & Wainwright out of the firing line now - both superb yesterday. -
To hold any international team to no tries in this day & age is a bloody good effort

Consistency ffsThe reviewing of that was farcical. TMO saying “no separation” and “try”. Berry, watching the same replay can see clear separation and asks her to review it. “Yes. Clear separation “. She was useless.
Right decision in the end but only because Berry had the balls to call out the TMO.

Multiply 75,000 by 30 quid and you'll have your answer
And the money spent in the city
Great atmosphere around town

@MiketheSnow How many games has Marcus Smith played in his career when his lot never crossed over?

Not many I'm guessing

A couple of million well spent just to see Smith cry.
