    @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 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. France are definitely looking interested. Picamoles is a beast.

        To be fair, he's the only Welsh player not regularly dropping the ball

            Wales will want to forget that half in a hurry. 16-0 Frogs, should possibly be more.

              Anscombe can't run a bath tonight, let alone a backline.

              You are the weakest link.

              Goodbye.

                Entertaining rugby in the wet. Good fun game so far (for the neutrals, sorry Mike).

                Looking forward to seeing the Welsh 2nd half response

                      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.

                      Anscombe having an absolute mare of a game. Parkes with a knock on and not much else.

                        Absolute stinker of a first half from Wales. They look undercooked. If Gatland is pushing for a job coaching the All Blacks or even a NZ Super franchise, he will need his side to play a lot better than this.

                          2 missed kicks at goal
                          Shit kicking from hand
                          Out of position on both tries.

                          Think he's top of the list

                                  I believe they have Minties for moments like that. North scores. 16-14.

                                    Teams swapped jerseys at half time I think. North scores. 16-14 to France.

                                        @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.
