2018 June Internationals

@pot-hale Get used to it PH. You're the threat now, so it comes with the territory.
-
Ireland and Australia to play a nil all draw for three games. Actually the game here needs all the help it can get. So Wallabies by a million.
South Africa because they need a boost and
@pukunui said in 2018 June Internationals:because fuck England and Eddie jones
Yeah.
Wales because fuck the Argies football antics
Yeah. Sanchez and his diving is pissing me right off.
ABs but only just so they learn some hard lessons and DMac gets dumped from the squad for throwing intercepts when he's not passing to no one.

OK the positives first
We won. First away win against SA. So congratulations to the 23
Ellis Jenkins has got the right stuff. So too Tomos Williams.
And hopefully we can put the 'North in the centre experiment' to bed once and for all
As soon as Parkes came on we had shape both in defence and attack. I was critical of putting an old fella into Test rugby. Happy to be proven wrongNow the negatives
C4 rubbish coverage
Ref very average
The last thing this crowd should have been subjected to was extra time
Both teams playing shit, shit tactics with shit, shit skill levels
Anscombe fuck off. Patchell has to start against the Argies.
One of the worst test matches I'vd watchedBut we won
-
Sounds like something real turgid. Hopefully someone can post the Saffas take on the proceedings for those of us that, fortunately as it turned out, were unable to take in the match. Jaf might have found time to watch given 7s were well finished for the day by then?
-
A quick synopsis.
Despite kicking away far too much possession, SA created ample opportunities to score but terrible handling, poor decision making, and some superb Welsh goalline defence, esp from captain Ellis Jenkins denied what should have been a comfortable win for SA.
SA midfield went really well.
They can and will play better in SA against England.

Geez a shitload of unknowns in that team. Denton and Jackson are the only ones I'd recognise.

Pretty possible with this team by the looks.
