AB's v Wales

[JC]

@tordah just rewound and yeah, it’s pretty marginal. But why would we expect Barnes to call a forward pass?

[booboo]

Am not a fan of the dinky little kicks in our own half. Would like to see us kicking in behind them.

Another 20m for them to have to truck it up.

The little kick to "regather" which we're not just give them attacking ball.

[booboo]

@chimoaus said in AB's v Wales:

I’m still struggling with our tactic of constantly giving the ball back to the opposition and relying on our D to force mistakes. If they don’t make mistakes we are starved of possession.

This

[chimoaus]

32% Possession and 25% territory. Holy shit.

[Bovidae]

The forwards need to get their shit together and win some ball, and hold onto it.

Barrett was to blame for that Welsh try as he was the defender beaten.

[JC]

Naholo’s first try, there was no attempt at all from the tackler to use his arms. Technically just a shoulder charge on a man in the air.

[booboo]

@tordah said in AB's v Wales:

no proper replay of the try, but on first viewing i immediately thought forward for the pass from 10 to 14. Need better TV directors.

Looked ok. Just replayed on BeIN. Flat at worst.

Would be shitted if we got called back for that.

Whos playing well for the AB's then?
Naholo, SWhitelock, Cane ?

Average impact for now:
Barrett, ASmith, DMac ?

Reuben Thorne-esque (i.e. invisible)
Tuipolutu, LWhitelock, Ioane (maybe not 100%?)

[Stargazer]

I'd like to see Todd come on, with Cane moving to 6. Todd is one of the best in making turnovers.

[chimoaus]

So no clean turnovers that half?

[JC]

@booboo .. if it was us I’m betting we would have got called back. Fuckin Barnes.

[MiketheSnow]

Priestland to 10, Biggar to 15, Halfpenny to wing, Evans taxi to Llanelli

[chimoaus]

@westcoastie Ioane setup first try.

[MiketheSnow]

Navidi proving me wrong

Squire? Haven’t heard his name called much. Sure he’s putting in tackles but so is everyone else.

[MiketheSnow]

If the possession had been the other way round it'd be 50+ by now

@chimoaus said in AB's v Wales:

@westcoastie Ioane setup first try.

Fair call, and I considered that, but maybe I'm just expecting more impact - he's been that good rest of the year.

[Stargazer]

@westcoastie BB has made several try saving tackles. That's playing well in my book. Whitelock and Ioane have done shitloads of work. Not invisible. We don't seem to have someone playing at 6 though.

Yeh barely noticed Squire too.

[chimoaus]

@westcoastie With 33% Possession pretty hard for any backs to make a big impact.
