    Wales an absolute shambles defensively. They look tired.

    Right call on the penalty and card, not sure its a penalty try. He over-ran the ball.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,228 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Referees were put in a bad position for the South Africa penalty try. I think it's more than likely that Moodie knocked it on, before Dyer slapped it out to touch. But there was no definitive angle to prove it.

    South Africa looking sharp too.

    I mean I agree about Dyer getting a yellow and Wales being penalised but I totally disagree about the penalty try, Moodie misses the ball and no-one is there to potentially catch the ball afterwards.

    No Welsh moaning for the third try just now though.

    Completely disorganised for their kick chase, lost the ball, gave away a 6 on 2 overlap, still managed to rather the ball, bug offloaded straight to a South African player over their own try line. Shambles.

    Brace was having a good game until that rediculus penalty try



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 680 ✭✭✭MaddChris


    Ohhh..... thats a shocker form Grady



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,021 ✭✭✭irelandrover


    That's just so bad. That's as close to an own try as you'll see.

    Welsh broadcasters fault for not shelling out for a sideline camera 😉

    SA being made to look good here, Wales are all over the place.

    Handre Pollard sitting and home shaking his head

    SA halves have both been poor.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 680 ✭✭✭MaddChris


    Kleyn with the lineout steal



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,228 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Wales have been shocking. Are there many from this squad that will travel to the World Cup.

    You'd fancy Fiji to beat Wales in the pool opener at this rate

    Taine Basham on. No return to play protocol ?

    This could get (really) embarrassing

    Three intercept trys and a penalty try

    Must be some sort of record 😑



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭fitz


    It was embarrassing already. The wheels are totally off the wagon here for Wales. Just handing SA points.



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭fitz


    Kolbe with an Arende pull down special.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,122 ✭✭✭Shehal


    Fiji are currently 8 point underdogs for the opening game against Wales. Throw the kitchen sink at it while you still can!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 680 ✭✭✭MaddChris


    Wouldn't re-morgage the house just yet. This is far from a starting Welsh XV

    Will still be close though I think.

    Shipping 50 in your final home game before the World Cup.

    I wouldn't completely discount an resurgence for the tournament itself as it has happened before. But Welsh rugby seems to be coming apart at every level.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,520 ✭✭✭Ben Bailey


    Bracey carding Willemse



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,228 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    That's a red card for Willemse surely?

    If he's cited for that World Rugby is in a very tough position, in light of the Farrell situation.

    Interesting test for the "Farrell defence" possibly coming up...
