The english co commentator is simply awful
Who is he ?

Only English bloke is Miles Harrison, Others are Irish bloke and Shane Williams

A few lost lineouts have been crucial for Wales all lost at the wrong time

@Victor-Meldrew we have got the NZ sky feed head caller is an Irish guy and his comments guy is an Englishman

@mikethesnow can take a lot of heart from that performance.

Plenty of composure, forwards were superb (apart from 3-4 lineouts), defence was outstanding. Backs are still shit on attack though.

If we were 10-10 in the last 20 matches we win that

Carley is fucking useless

Bad luck Wales.

The Carre try was pretty cool but not the best prop try ever ( as the YouTube highlights would have me believe ). That would be this one.

Run, Fat Boy, Run!

Way, way back, there was an AB prop, Jazz Muller, who could run the 100m in a ridiculous time - just over 11 seconds IIRC

It would be 100 yards in those days not metres wouldn't it ? still quick for a front rower.

I think I read Troy Flavell could do about 11.5 for the 100 metres.

Think he was a pretty clean/fair player. Are you thinking of Alistair Hopkinson?

I remember him getting the shits in a game, having a brain explosion, and stomping on someone, maybe head, upper body anyway.
Cant quite remember the game.
Dont actually think he got sent off, those were the days.

But I do remember having a go at an aquaintance (who actually new him) about it, at the time.
He was saying nah nah he's a great guy; white line fever!

Carre with the moment of the tournament. Didn’t see the game but pleased the Welsh boys have earned a little bit of self respect. Hope their bounce continues
