What was Walsh telling Youngs when getting him to move/change position

I mentioned this in the refs thread but got no reply. I know some people were listening to the ref's feed so I was wondering - what was Walsh actually saying to Youngs/ the
English front row for that first scrum after Vunipola came on? The one
that looked like it was always going to end up as a penalty to Wales as
he kept on seeming to have a go at Young's position?

I wasn't at the game or listening to the ref but I thought it had something to do with Youngs foot placement and where he was looking to scrummage.

I'm not sure if Youngs was doing this as I wasn't paying attention but the accepted practice for the front row is for the hooker to use his extended leg as a sort of handbrake, in which he'd put the scrums weight on and retract for the hit. If his handbrake leg isn't streight it can indicate wher the front row are attempting to scrummage, in this case Jones had the refs ear and was complaining Youngs was clearly trying to not scrummage straight.

I may be 100% wrong however!

I think it was a game of simon says!

No it was that song they always put on in kids party's, I do not know what it is called, but it has the lines of slide to the left, slide to the right, criss cross and a load of other bollix, he was singing that to him, and he was singing twist and shout to Adam Jones.

Sorry to say but yes it is!!
Unless your only 14 yourself?

Nah it was the hokey cokey

You put your left leg in,
Your left leg out,
In, out, in, out, shake it all about


Youngs was refusing to shake it all about.

Cha Cha slide, thats the bugger, my daughters and my misses always get up for that one, they even try and convince me to do it as well, but I am more of a wig wham bam dancer to be honest.

Actually I reckon he was asking him to do the Time Warp.

I can imagine Walsh spends his spare time dressed up as Dr Frank'n'Furter

Spoiler:

Well this thread got derailed with record pace...

Yes it has but at least its been

There is still time for a sensible answer though. I wouldnt want to think that those who listened to the ref recording and said his communication was good are as 'one eared' as some around here are one eyed

Sorry


It did seem as if he wanted him to move the position of one of his feet before engagement. Then asked him to move it back again. It was all rather odd.

There were a few 'odd' glances from Walsh to youngs throughout the game too, clearly Youngs rubbed him up the wrong way. I did notice him telling Youngs to be quiet a few times!

Maybe he was confused by Youngs always staring at him while scrummaging...

I think walsh was telling Youngs not to mess up his oppo's hairstyle, and not to disturb the Welsh while they are busy dropping the scrum, i mean you can't say fairer than that and of course he warned youngs to always let wales win, or else he'd award a penalty. Obvious stuff really.

What we failed to see was that the very same snake that Brian O'Driscoll tried to heroically save an Italian player from in the game before had popped up between the forwards and Walsh was trying to direct Youngs to stamp on it.

I have heard rumours about Hibbard but snake? Really?

I'm not sure, which front rower had to quickly get subbed after the scrum?

Cracking not a single suggestion. What he was saying is that Youngs was positioning his shoulders to bore in towards Walsh and bore into Hibberd/Owens. Jones wanted him square.

Mate did you not read about the snake?

Will be known as Steve Welsh from now on, shewerly.
