Match report

“Another week, another record defeat.”

These are the sobering opening words from Andy Bull’s report that has just landed.

And with those words, I’ll sign off.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in. I hope you enjoyed that. Even the Welsh supporters among us.

“Wales never gave up,” declares KR Lauf.

“Big respect to Wales who did not give up....Dyer and Botham’s tries came at the end of each half, after physical batterings..still they endured.” No doubt.

Huw Rees has some choice words for the man in charge:

“I’ve been a fan of Gatland, and the loss of 5 line outs is down to the players. However the one up runners are there to be turned over, that’s down to coaching, how you attack. Archie Griffin, his arse was higher than his shoulders on all his scrums, that’s poor technique, and Jonathan Humphreys is not a good coach. Time for the coaching team to go.”

You know what… I agree.
