@MiketheSnow Strong team Mike, you must be happy?

I know they have probably improved and it sounds snarky but I still can't work out how Anscombe and Parkes are first selections in a Tier 1 team.
@Crucial yeah they have improved but both were journeymen at supper level in NZ, not even starters often. Aki the same, tho he had 3 years to improve. I guess playing at higher level had improved their games, something they never would have got the chance of here

@Machpants Aki was a starter for the Chiefs and was class - he should have been an AB instead of Francis Saili who they picked instead.

France the better team but better decision making and accuracy and it could easily be 13-10 us
-
Les Frogs all handling like Jo Maso. Kicking like Adam Jones...
Apart from Liam Williams, Wales look all over the place

@Machpants I think many players would thrive being surrounded by higher level players, plus the different style at the club level may be more suited too.
Similarly I suspect there would be some handy players in the NH comps who cant quite crack it if they came down here they might flourish too with the different style.

Williams is a greedy fuck.
To be fair, he's the only Welsh player not regularly dropping the ball

Anscombe can't run a bath tonight, let alone a backline.
You are the weakest link.
Goodbye.

To be fair you could say goodbye to half the team.
