First topic message reminder :

So this week saw the fans calls for players unused the week before who are in form this season answered and we lost to Samoa, we also lost more players to injury.

So what next...?

Wales offered little in impetus yet again. Few of the form players made a difference against Samoa. Wales have to make a massive improvement in every aspect of their game for next weeks match vs the ABs but what are your suggestions...???

New Zealand team:
Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Daniel Carter, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw, Liam Messam, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Andrew Hore, Tony Woodcock.

Terrible drive from Wales, just awful

Turnover.

Why didn't they take a shot?

by disneychilly Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:32 am

Apologies to Wales that was a cheap shot. No place in the game for that crap. Sorry guys.

Law 11.10 Exceptions to the Offside Law

Offside cannot occur if you are Richie McCaw.

Brilliant defensive scrum by Wales

I said that Andrews had been impressing me this season.

Fair play chilly.

I really hate that sort of cowardly attack.

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:34 am

Trying to use Liam Williams in the air - clever idea and it kindof works.

by eirebilly Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:34 am

Did the AB's just get penalised for laying on the wrong side of the ruck after being told to roll away? Shocked

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:35 am

Dead, again!!! Oh FFS

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:35 am

Preistland boots it dead Sad

WHY IS BIGGAR INJURED!

by flyhalffactory Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:35 am

Good afternoon Bretheren
Just got back to the homestead, couldnt even stay out for a pint after watching our shower of sh1te performance, so excuse me if I am a bit grouchy

Massive statement of intent by Wales going for touch instead of the posts, and mixing the game up. Priestland has had a good first 5 mins

All the best Wales

by Guest Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:35 am

Kick the points you idiots!

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:36 am

Preistland missed touch ends with a NZ shot at 3.

This is why you cannot make those mistakes against the All Blacks.

Well done Preistland kick dead now 3 points for the AB's, why is he playing

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:37 am

0 - 3

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:39 am

Rees and Phillips being sneaking in the lineout...now where have I seen that before.

by eirebilly Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:39 am

I was a very big fan of Priestland but i just cant defend him anymore, he really is just looking poor. Wellies would be a much better option.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:39 am

Oh Cuthbert...

by eirebilly Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:40 am

Liam Williams clap

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:40 am

Roberts knocks on

ABs lineout in the Welsh 22

Excellent defence by Liam Williams

by glamorganalun Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:40 am

Well done Liam

by Looseheaded Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:40 am

Great hit Liam Williams.
Can we bring lynch mobs in just for Priestland and Howley?

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:41 am

WTF???? Use it whistle????

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:41 am

Why did Wales go for the scrum?

It was knocked on into touch - couldn't they have chosen a lineout?

by flyhalffactory Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:42 am

Faletau, Warburton, Jones........ rewind that Liam Williams tackle! thats how you nail a player

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:42 am

Early???

by eirebilly Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:42 am

Early engagement? Thought that it was a great Welsh scrum myself!!!

1/2p clap

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:42 am

Watching a few minutes behind but I think we may see a citing for a tip tackle

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:42 am

Terrible defensive positioning there - Halfpenny shouldn't have had to cover across like that.

by glamorganalun Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:42 am

Cuthbert must tackle of we are stuffed

by Looseheaded Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:43 am

Very good clearance kick from the Priest

by PJHolybloke Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:43 am

I'm absolutely certain that Hore had no intention targetting a Wales lock in the first minute, and that the fact that Wales have no 2nd row on the bench is absolutely not connected to that incident in anyway.

There must have been some previous there, maybe he didn't show the Haka enough respect? warning

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:44 am

Liam Williams is putting himself about a bit

by flyhalffactory Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:44 am

Cuthbert is a big lump but he is a revolving door........ yet again in another match 1/2p has to cover for poor defensive backs

Jamie roberts back on his feet.

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:46 am

How can Wales be in from of the kicker when NZ kick it? Intersting...

by eirebilly Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:46 am

Struggeling to understand this ref...

by kiakahaaotearoa Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:46 am

HELP! Anyone know a link I can watch the match on. My usual doesn't have the game.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:46 am

So are Wales billy

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:47 am

Good kick

0 - 6

Jamie Roberts is off injured Doh

3 injured in 18 minutes.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:48 am

Davies what are you doing???

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:48 am

Jonathan Davies drops the ball Rolling Eyes

Pity

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:48 am

Bless little Jamie looks in a lot of pain :/

Wales doing very well all things considered...problems going to be a lack of replacements late in the game when they need the spark to stay in it

Ryan Jones is down injured...we will be down to 14men soon.

by glamorganalun Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:49 am

Good riddance with Roberts off offering nothing in attack.

PM for Kia

by wales606 Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:49 am

One NZ player turns over ball with 8 Welshman on the deck. *sigh*

by Guest Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:50 am

Why are we never able to cope with the physicality in terms of injuries? Is it because our league is so much less physical and therefore they're not used to it???

3 off injured, Ryan jones looking ropey
