Wales v All Blacks 30th Oct NH Tour

[Yeetyaah]

Wales flopping all over the ruck and not getting pinged

[broughie]

@stargazer I just don’t think he is a 2nd five, especially at international level where there is less time and space.

And not releasing when they have the ball, ref had given up policing them

[nostrildamus]

I think ALB has played well even though he didn't need to do too much with that try, has tackled and covered well all game.

[Mattasaurus]

Wales are lucky Webber didn't start.

@damo I think it's the BB-DH combo. I'd like to see the RM-DH combo back.

Or the balance with ALB is wrong. I think we need a big bulky tough runner in one of 12 or 13.

I'd argue we need consistency and a decent partnership most of all.

To be fair, we were as well. I thought we could have been pinged a couple of times in that phase for sealing off.

[nostrildamus]

Only 49, can we crack the half ton?

[broughie]

@victor-meldrew Consistently with the right players though not just because.

He's becoming Conrad Smith-like. Not too spectacular but absolutely solid and consistent

Almost, Weber tits hands

[Machpants]

Free kick? Ref is really trying to keep them in

[akan004]

Blackadder has been underwhelming imo.

[broughie]

@machpants TJP would have scored that.

What? Lol, when Wales were actually playing in the first half, he was one of the best

But how many years do you spend looking for the right players?

[nostrildamus]

Good turnover Wales.
Blackadder, a few slipped tackles but his workrate has been damn impressive.

[nostrildamus]

Taylor was good I thought but our bench hooker really has go forward.

1-8 have been pretty damn good IMHO - inc Blackadder.

Beaudy icing on the cake hahaha
