Mid-Year Tour : Japan v Wales Test 2

[Duluth]

21-3 now

Surely they can’t screw this up

[Mr Fish]

Hmm letting in a try on half time when you've scored in the 38th minute wouldn't have been in the plans.

[Duluth]

Or could they.. Japan scores because of some soft defence around the fringes

Wales 21-10 at HT

[Victor Meldrew]

Jeez, Leitch is a warrior isn't he?

[MiketheSnow]

Ours to lose
Like last week
By far the better team

Solid scrum
Functioning lineout

Still too many basic mistakes
Kicking very average again

[sparky]

Wales leading 21-10 at the break. They can't fuck it up again, can they?

[sparky]

And it's a two point game.

[sparky]

Wales score. It this the end of their long losing run?

[MiketheSnow]

Thank god for that

Hardy and Edwards did their best to fuck that up

[sparky]

Wales wins

[MiketheSnow]

So happy to see Eddie’s face

[KiwiMurph]

Great effort by the Welsh ferners to keep their faith in the dark times. Now enjoy your win.

Don't be too hard on your team, Mike.

Don't forget you had all your Lions missing.

[Catogrande]

Monkey off the back. Now have to back this up.

[Dodge]

That must be a hell of a feeling. Jeez you’d want to play again tomorrow wouldn’t you?

[pooler fan]

Phew,
At least a new coaching team can come in with a clean slate without that bloomin' horrendous loss record hanging over them like a dark cloud.
We don't have the players we once had but there are some nuggets that can develop given time.
We can only work with what we have, onwards and upwards

[Mauss]

If anyone wonders what it feels like to have the weight of a nation on your shoulders, I think Matt Sherratt’s face at the end of that game gives a pretty good indication.

Who’d want to be a coach, eh? That was an intense watch, even for a neutral like myself. Very happy for Wales to finally break their streak, you could tell what it meant for the players and the coaches.

[pooler fan]

Got to say how impressed I was again with Michael Leitch - what a warrior that guy is, to continue to perform at test level at 36 & in that heat and humidity.
The guy is a colossal figure, hugely impressive.

I hope so. Really don't like to see Wales in this place. Supporters deserve better
