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

It's terrible for me, just really blurry when it's motion shots, similar to when the quality is low while the feed is still "buffering" of sorts.
Also really unimpressed with the "studio" team. Gabby constantly cutting the pundits off to move to another topic, ad break or bullshit promo video and constantly talking about England.

Good pressure from Scotland, Weir starting to pull the strings, and Scotland go over in a bit of a fluke
Italy 14 - 14 Scotland

So odd he hasn't played in 4 years! Seems like only last year I saw him running around.
