Wales might regret emptying the bench in the dying minutes and conceding soft tries at the death. That's twice now.

dire & instantly forgettable - great defence but relentlessly mediocre with the ball

That is bound to happen! Was Plisson confused for Norths try or was he helping Wales out to get confidence ready for when they play england?!WaspInWales wrote:Thank fwck for that.

Brilliant by Wales. The way they feigned shittiness was very shrewd. The plan is coming together.

Can't help wondering what sort of game it would have been with Priesthood and Trinh-Duc starting.

I don't get Jiffy's praise for North's ability to pick up a ball with two hands and plonk it over the line. It was a bloody gift. It was hardly a great pick up and the finish was the act of diving over the line.
Was it Moore who questioned why Plisson didn't just drop on the ball?
Bizarre try from a bizarre game.

Re: Match thread: Wales vs France
Does it even matter? It's not like spending a decent amount of time is going to do France much good anyway. Or does spending an equivalent amount of time together as a squad just make the team shittier, judging from their quarterfinal performance last year?tigran wrote:yeah, three weeks... still believing our players are sleeping together 10 months a year like yours..cashead wrote:They gathered for the first time in the 3rd round of this year's 6 Nations?

Besides, you said they gathered for the first time this year, now you're saying "three weeks." Which is it? You can't have it both ways.
