Team for the Summer

FFS.

They need to put something on the actual channel. People have paid money to watch this game not some random boxing match

Agreed - I'm sympathetic to the IT problem, cause it's fucked a load of my work systems as well, but I should have to be coming on a message board to find out why there's boxing in place of the rugby I want to watch.

Good luck with that.

On another note, Sky are now showing the game.

Loving the commentator. Commenting on Tshunzia:

"Look at the pipes on the man. He's a huge human!".

He did just score a very easy try from a rolling maul. 24-14 at half time

Entertaining game from what I've seen, but Wales indiscipline and Reds rolling maul getting them back into the game.

[Sandydragon]

Story of the series. For everything good that we do, we do something shyte. Too many errors, mostly unforced.

Basically, yep

[pompey-zebra]

Reds really back in it now. Wales need to play in the Reds half for a bit, they've been on the back foot since Tompkins try.

Bit of pressure from Wales now and reds indiscipline.

Damn. Messing up that driving maul was huge.

[pompey-zebra]

Bloody hell.....

[Sandydragon]

Reds take the lead. very good try in fairness.

Wales look knackered.

[Sandydragon]

Fucking hell.

Massive moment.

[Sandydragon]

`mother of God!!!

[Sandydragon]

Bloody hell!!!!!

TFFT!

Very exciting game against two well matched sides! We edged that but feck me that was a tense finish!

It probably says a lot about Wales' season that I was out of my seat celebrating a 1 point win against a provincial side!

I'll take it though!

We looked out on our feet and needed some first team names to get over the line. But we did get there and I'll take any win at the moment.

[Son of Mathonwy]

Jesus, we barely beat a club side. Can we sack Gatland now, please?

[Sandydragon]

Don’t worry, according to the fail we have half the team returning in time for the AIs. The likes of Anscombe will save us- assuming he remains uninjured for more than 5 mins.

I'm more enthused about Sheedy coming back. A least he's got a few more years in him. Assuming he remains uninjured etc etc.

The AI's are going to have an added importance now I think. With the younger players having had 6n/ tour experience, and some experienced players coming back, Wales need to start winning test matches again. Gatland said Wales will go through pain before we get the gain, but we need to start seeing results ahead of next year's 6n.

[Sandydragon]

Sheedy is a decent shout. I don’t think he’s going to be world class but perhaps he can be competent enough to allow Costelow or another young ten to come through without the expectation.

The Fail have promoted Beard back to the pack. Maul defence aside I don’t see why. I’d start with Towlands and Jenkins with Christ on the bench.

Our pack has been much more mobile,
We just need to ensure we have our big carriers in play, which Rowlands and Lake give us as a start in the front 5.

They also continue to think Adams is nailed on. He's been poor or injured for a year. He needs to earn it again.

Isn't Lake a backrower now? (Might be better for our lineout)

[Sandydragon]

Agree about Adams. I don’t think he’s finished yet by a long chalk but he needs to earn his place. If he can remain fit, I think Grace is going to be very good.

Adams carrying a persistent knee injury through last season no doubt affected him. But hopefully with a summer off and a proper pre-season we might see him somewhere back to what he's capable of.
