I watched Bledisloe highlights on youtube, as had drunk a bit on the night. Then it played France v Ireland. That's my first experience watching any of the pro sports with no crowds. Gee, it's a tough watch. Didn't make it through to the end.
Yet, I've previously watched test cricket from UAE with pretty much no crowds, without being affected.

Attack and Forwards skills coaches are a more pressing need

Wales team announced
Pivac under real pressure
Tompkins taking the fall for shoddy defence.
Unfortunately he looks like the only back who can open up a defence. Big mistake.
If we persist with box kicking then we'll lose by 15-21.

Eddie has pulled a few minor surprises, plus it seems ignoring the chance to blood some depth in areas that are crying out for it. But... in Eddie we trust.
Backs:
Daley, Jospeh, Lawrence, Slade, May, Farrell, Youngs.Forwards: Genge, George, Stuart, Ewels, Launchbury, Itoje, Willis, Vunipola.
Bench (from memory and in no order):
Vunipola, Dunn, Sinckler, Earl, Curry, Robson, Malins, Marchant.
I don’t like the combo of Joseph on the wing and no back three replacement. Itoje could do with a rest instead of playing him out of position. Youngs could handle a rest also plus giving Robson some meaningful game time seems sensible. Glad that Willis has got his chance albeit at 7 and Malins has been lighting up things at Bristol and deserves his bench spot. I think this game will provide more questions than answers.

for @MiketheSnow ...Irish got out to 23 pts, bastards. Couldn't even get the spread
Pivac got rid of a defensive coach but kept the forwards skills coach and the attack coach
Our hooker couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo and our best attacking threat - Tompkins - was watching from home
That's all Pivac
He's not very good
And will hopefully go the same way as all the other Llanelli johns
Quickly, in a car park
