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

And there’s number four. Some ineffective defence there

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

Re: Wales team v SA
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

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

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

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

Re: Wales team v SA
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.Sandydragon wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 6:29 pmIt happens. Every prop gets a tuning at some point early in their career
