Sad day for Rugby?
Impressive day for Rugby?
A reality check.
Wales are way, way off. Only terrible All Blacks defence allowed them to paper over the massive cracks last week.
The Springboks are one of the very best teams of all time.
Wales are missing a few of their 1st XV. The have no depth. This week’s team would struggle to beat Tonga! They are a step down from last week, which made them cannon fodder for the Boks.
WRU should hang their heads in shame for arranging this fixture outside the official window. Heads need to roll.
It just seems like a massively pointless exercise.
Just indicative of how out of touch the WRU are, they knew full well what could happen but they didn't care. They could've arranged a game during the first week of November (when England played Australia and Ireland played NZ) against a lower ranked side but would rather make an extra few ££ by playing SA but throwing your players under the bus.
All four Welsh pro clubs are also playing this weekend, so the union has fucked them over too (again)
My Welsh friend was apoplectic on FB this morning with a rant expressing this and many other points about the WRU, so I assumed it was a bad result, but jesus, ouch.
Eben should be banned from all rugby for enough time to make it not worth giving him a contract.
