Autumn Test 2024 : Wales v Fiji

[MiketheSnow]

Wales 23 announced

Pretty happy with that.

Very happy to see a playmaker at 12 in Ben Thomas

6-2 bench is interesting

Good impact off the bench

Blair Murray makes his debut after a good start to the season with the Scarlets

Playmakers at 9, 10, 12, 13

If we win clean ball we could see our backs at their best

Surprised we didn't see Henry Thomas get a start at tighthead.
Also Freddie Thomas, thought they'd have capped him off the bench.

[ARHS]

Are there no wingers left in Wales?

[pooler fan]

@ARHS our best one now plays for England and the 2nd best is in the NFL.
I wouldn't say the cupboard is bare but it's almost empty. 🙄😁

[Higgins]

@pooler-fan Can't you find any in places like Lautoka, Sigatoka, Rakiraki or Lambasa etc?

[MiketheSnow]

Roof on, lights on, game on

[MiketheSnow]

Went to the well once too often
Good maul and line out though

[MiketheSnow]

Going to be plenty of tries in this match

[MiketheSnow]

Brilliant from Ben Thomas

Fiji 9 with great clearance kicks

[MiketheSnow]

Max Llewelyn has started well

[MiketheSnow]

Fantastic pass from Tomos Williams splits the Fijian defence and puts Winnett in for Wales’ second try

Called back for clear out from Refell to head

YC

Correct by the letter of the law

Let’s see consistency

[Mr Fish]

Tough to have that try scrubbed out but suppose that's fair.

Suspect there might be quite a few cards too.

That Radradra tackle might be looked at too...
