Wales v Georgia

[Son of Mathonwy]

We can't even break down the Georgian defence. And we're not even fitter than them. What are we good at? Cheating, by the looks of it... that's how we avoided a draw at the end.

This coaching team is useless. There's no hope of change till they go.

Still, Gatland's now got an excuse to drop any of those players if he's taken a sudden dislike to them.

Congrats to Georgia though. They deserve to be in the 6 Nations. Bring in relegation asap (with a playoff fixture).

Making it more frustrating - Aus have had two borderline try decisions go against them and Eng have had one go for them (a bizarre try against the run of play). Eng look like winning again, having played very little rugby

To say they've had the rub of the green in that game is a massive understatement.

Fair play though. They've taken what's given, which Wales rarely do.

Wales were a little unfortunate in the first half... no such excuses in the second half. In fact it's incredible the ref accepted that both of our benched props were suddenly injured.

Turned into a rout (Eng - Aus that is)

If the team had dug themselves out of a hole to salvage a win, I could see some value in that. But truth is, we tried everything we possibly could to lose. I'm an admirer of Georgia, but Cornish Pirates would have got at least a draw against us today.

Positives? No-one seriously in contention for next week got injured.

One game closer to a new coaching team.

It took awhile but you cannot deny he got us bang to rights. And his touchline staff weren't all that.

From some vague memory this or a similar thing happened in a SA match but can't remember when....but....the outcome was a loose head can not play tight head unless they are the nominated starting tight head or the substitute.

Before they allowed 2 prop subs Gethin Jenkins played both sides but it seems that is no longer the case.It will be good if there was clarity on this as if the coaching team were right.... it just looked wrong to most of us including the commentators.

Just read Prices view in the Fail. If the offending prop is able to continue then another player should be carded, with the opposition determining who.

I’d agree with that but make the law that provided the prop hasn’t committed an act of violence (so technical infringements) the another packmember can make way. The offending side can figure out who, the other team still get an advantage.

I’d also make teams notify officials of injuries to players that preclude a player coming back on. If a player has cramp, then an official should be told or they should go for treatment. Hanging around on the touch line without medical support looks like they are able to carry on and is confusing, whilst also making any decision not to play them look like gamesmanship.

It was a shyte way to avoid los9ng, but we should never have been in that position. A couple of kicked penalties and it would have been irrelevant. This new style of trying to play wider needs some pragmatism and if 3 points are on offer then take them.

What happened then? I watched the first 15-20mins and thought we were playing well.

Yes, we were certainly on top, but got very little points for it. The ref kept calling us back for this or that, sometimes rightly, but not always (Priestland made a brilliant, potentially try-scoring break in the 13th minute off a ball Dacey was judged to have knocked on, but looks absolutely sideways to me in the replay). Whatever, though, ultimately our skills weren't quite up to our ambitions and we kept falling short of scoring the points.

But after a certain point, we ran out of ideas and/or the Georgians tightened things up. Subbing Webb early in the second half certainly helped blunt our attack. And our young front row was overpowered in the scrum, exactly as expected.

The Georgians always keep it tight.
