Wales team v SA

[Sandydragon]

Dyer giving away stupid penalties we don’t need

[Sandydragon]

An outmuscled pack, slow delivery from half back and small outside backs who can’t defend very well. Apart from that…

Blair is not a fullback

[Sandydragon]

And now the scrum is getting pulled. Archie Groffin getting a hard time of it

[pompey-zebra]

Jesus. Scrum was mulled then.

[Wallpaperman]

Griffin getting utterly cleaned out by his club mate, who is playing out of position. Don’t want to be harsh on Griffin, he’s had some good moments but here is absolutely no platform

That was a superb defensive effort mind

Brave there, in all fairness

[Wallpaperman]

Etzebeth off, Snyman on. Oof !!!!

[Sandydragon]

Yep. What a replacement to have available

[Wallpaperman]

Better scrum, Griffin has taken his scrum cap off

[Sandydragon]

And there’s number four. Some ineffective defence there

[Sandydragon]

We avoid the try but have a defence scrum near the try line

[Wallpaperman]

The penalty from Hathaway was needless, Wales have got no momentum whatsoever, discipline could make the difference between a hiding and something even worse. Lucky escape with the TMO

[Wallpaperman]

Not for long, obvs. Du Toit is driving straight up against Griffin

[Sandydragon]

Dear God almighty. Try four awarded

[pompey-zebra]

Blimey! A penalty in the Boks 22!

[Sandydragon]

Griffin off. Not his day today

[Sandydragon]

Driving maul went nowhere thankfully we get another fo

[Wallpaperman]

Griffin off. Not his day today

Nope, sad to see.

[pompey-zebra]

Good finish by dyer there. At least we're on the score board.

[Sandydragon]

At last. Well done Dyer but I did think for a while we weren’t going to notice the space he was in

[Wallpaperman]

Well that’s something, good finish. The 13 man mauls were a bit embarrassing

[Sandydragon]

Griffin off. Not his day today

Nope, sad to see.

It happens. Every prop gets a tuning at some point early in their career

[Sandydragon]

So something to cheer at the end of the half.

Realistically we are going to have to defend like mad to keep this from being a humiliation. I’d like to see Eddie James and Owen Watkin on early ish for some fresh legs.

So many ways that we are struggling here. But speed of thought is a key one. We get that turn over via Hathaway and no one thinks to get the ball away quickly to take advantage.

To be fair to him, he's probably played more for Wales than bath. Given that, he's done pretty well overall.
