Very disappointing that Plumtree was brought in and not used, seeing as we have Freddie Thomas who can cover 5, 6, 7 at a push, and 8.
Would much rather have seen Max Llewelyn brought in to partner Eddie James in the midfield.
We convert our opportunities, we win.
We don't, we lose.
Sounds trite but that's where we are. We had loads of ball against the Frogs and did 4/5 of fuck all with it.
@MiketheSnow totally agree on Max Llewellyn, find it crazy that he's not involved especially since the Watkin injury.
The one truly in form three-quarter we have at the moment and Gats doesn't pick him.

I want to see Wales, England and Scotland win, but I think I'll be disappointed in all three
Yeah that's a three from three that would be a safe bet.
I know Scotland have struggled of late against Ireland but never knew quite HOW bad. 10 losses in a row !

Didn't even know Faletau was still playing.
Long term injuries since RWC
Dafydd Jenkins and Liam Williams out of the Welsh XV, Freddie Thomas and Blair Murray take their places.
Teddy Williams and Josh Hathaway onto the bench.
Just to about to start. 12 of the Italian lineup were victors in Cardiff last year. Can they make history again?
Two stirring renditions of the anthems, despite the rain.
Nearly a very early Welsh try. But the cross field kick didn't quite sit up for Josh Adams. Lively start.

Zero attacking shape to Wales' "gameplan"
Arguably the worst Welsh team I've seen in the last couple of decades, sadly.
Wales getting outmuscled up front so far. They did however have some success attacking the blindside, so something for them to attack in the 2nd half.
If the result stays like this then Georgia will sit above Wales in the world rankings for the first time.

Agreed
And I watched the 90s

Josh Adams not doing his Lions chances any harm. Looks hungry.

"Field position is important in the game"
Genius insight from Miles Harrison
"Whoever gets their kicking game right is almost likely to win the game" as the female says hold my beer.

Fuck me

Now he could be red carded.

The thing is there's some quality players in red out there
