My one wish next week is we dont do the whole one pass... contact, one pass.... contact thing again.
It really is turgid stuff.

If we lose the rest of our games, which frankly is very possible, then the one silver lining is that he is unlikely to be.whatisthejava wrote:The weirdest thing is howley is lions attack coach and Wales look like they couldn't attack a fish supper.

Quicker u get shot of the arse the better. Unfortunately I think he is your next coach.
I suspect you're going to be disappointed. Although we could well see more of the dreaded welsh box-kicking next weekend.MrK wrote:My one wish next week is we dont do the whole one pass... contact, one pass.... contact thing again.

The ironic thing being that if he uses that mantra for the next 4 games, we have a decent chance of losing them all. Howley really needs to show that he has grasped how the game has changed since the first part of the Gatland era for him to be taken seriously as an international head coach. If the Welsh performance of the second half can be replicated over 80 minutes in the next few weeks then the future is looking more promising. But I do fear that howley hasn't got the nerve to give youth its head.stud muffin wrote:The front row changes made a big difference, but I think it's obvious that Sam Davies brings a much greater threat than Biggar. This will be the big call for Howley, which of course he won't make.
We'll no doubt try not to lose the game instead of trying to win the game .... Again
Tragic if he doesn't go for it - it would make him look very good - really bringing meaningful improvement to Wales.Sandydragon wrote:The ironic thing being that if he uses that mantra for the next 4 games, we have a decent chance of losing them all.

Even looking like he was trying would be a feather in his cap. I think most fans understand that new players wont win a grand slam, but some evidence that we were evolving or improving would be helpful.Son of Mathonwy wrote:Tragic if he doesn't go for it - it would make him look very good - really bringing meaningful improvement to Wales.Sandydragon wrote:The ironic thing being that if he uses that mantra for the next 4 games, we have a decent chance of losing them all.
