I don't think you understand what straw man means.

Re: Team for England
Only just getting over the result
Still think we should have been a man up for those last ten mins - Haskell blatantly killed the ball a few metres from their line when we were on a roll. SHould have been a yellow. Fair play to him for getting away with it of course
Most of the team were excellent - in particular I thought Biggar was superb. I can't understand the criticism he gets on these boards - he's probably the smartest (rugby wise) player we have in Wales. His interception was pure class. It is true that he's not the biggest running threat but I think others are over-estimating how big a gap there is between him and Sam Davies in that part of the game.
I agree with everyone re. Moriarty. Why oh why take him off. Same for Ken Owens and Webb. In fact that only change I agreed with was Francis for Lee.
Poor Cuthbert - I've been a big fan of his for years but he really really shouldn't be anywhere near these games at the moment. I think he could have done better for Daly's try but obviously he shouldn't have even been in that situation.

I thought Biggar was excellent too, although I don't think his intercept was pure class. It was the result of a scrum half pretty much telegraphing the ball into his hands. That said, he did all he could after he caught the ball. Held off Ford, chose the right line and knew he wasn't going to outsprint Daly so kicked ahead and it was a great kick as he kept the ball in play forcing Daly to kick it out or dive on it. Had it been the latter, him and Sanjay would've been on him in no time. Daly did well though.
Moriarty was nailed on for MotM before being subbed. Absolutely daft from Stan.
Agree on Cuthbert too. Made a few errors, in his defence he made a big tackle on Care after Te'o's break but I think it was covered anyway. Really should have done better with the attempted tackle on Daly though.
