30-24 win vs Georgia.

We made hard work of it, but looked good for a few periods in the second half coming back from and 8-point deficit. good win against Scotland last Saturday too.

They look like a tidy bunch of youngsters who’ve got the job done. Conditions weren’t ideal but I would have liked to have seen a fewer dropped passes and a little more poise at key times. Late in the game we had a line out five metres from their line and we had them on the rack. The ball was thrown in but the lift was about two seconds too slow and the over thrown ball was regained by the Georgians and they continued to attack into the dying minutes. Only a stolen line out saved us on eighty minutes.

The Georgian pack was awesome. I couldn’t believe some of their forwards qualified for the U20s, they looked far older than their years!

Just when Welsh rugby is at a low point these youngsters give us a hint of what’s in store for RWC 2027.

There are some decent players in that team who could turn into good senior players if given an opportunity. We just ned to sort this political and financial bullshit out to allow that to happen.

Ireland just nicked England 37-36

Good game. Ireland took their chances better as England looked the stronger team for most of it.

Wales just beat Italy 23-20 to meet SA in the final. Scrappy game with the ref making a lot of calls.

Yep! The ref was poor and the only thing you can say about him is that he was consistently poor.

Over the last two games, Wales have managed to come back at the death to snatch a narrow victory. They ‘done well’!

Tough game ahead against the Boks but their performance so far bodes well for the future.

47-27 loss to RSA. We scored a couple at the end to put a better look on the score as RSA were stronger. But when we moved at pace, we did trouble them.

We only moved at pace occasionally; the Boks seemed able to turn it on at any time. Still we came second and there are some good youngsters coming through the system.

We’ve pegged it back to 17-14 but boks hammering at our line again.

Try South Africa. Just too many big ball carriers.
