Wales tour of SA

First topic message reminder :

Halfpenny is out and recent news (unknown to me) is stating that Warburton will now also miss out due to a dislocated shoulder. It doesn't look good for us going to SA without these two and with our recent away form being so bad. Personally I think it would be a good idea if we had a midweek game before the first test against a SA Provincial team, using the majority of our first team.

Who would you like to see on the plane?

Nice skill from SA back line. The game is over as a contest. There is no intensity in anything Wales have done. We look distinctly tier 2 here.

This is just embarrassingly bad. My Lord, we are awful.

40-50 pt humping in the works. Pathetic Wales

Game over

This is going to be humiliating

he can only tackle people if they are in the air   

any chance of the supporters in the stands putting together a replacement side during half time?

we aren't awful at all, we are much much worse

its a simple but effective game plan. bosh, bosh, bosh, bosh, bosh, spread it, score. repeat.

To be fair it is only the SA backrow and Serfontein that boshes, the rest are running at the gaps.

LOL. they are all trying to run into the man but gaps keep appearing

Come on wales your representing the NH have a bit of pride in your shirt for christ sake. This is depressing.

We need to empty the bench bar hooky, take off powder-puff Charteris and anonymous Lydiate. Put Morgan at FB and Davies at SH and hope to salvage some pride

quinnell is a bit one-eyed as a commentator.

how did liam williams stay on the pitch for his cheap shot on le roux for SA's first try. he is the dirtiest f1cker in world rugby. such a liability.

I really want to see Wales start beating SH teams, but this is pathetic. Where is the intensity? No line speed, heads down, awful positioning, awful tackling. Hope they are getting a rocket up the arse

A true masterclass in aimless kicking and generally brainless tactics from Wales. I didn't think they had it in them to top some of their past embarrassments but by god, they're giving it a go!

the thing is SA aren't requiring to do anything else, du preez is varying the attack, le roux hitting the line, and the chips over the top are killing us, SA could step it up easily.

Cuthbert is useless in defence, the defence is rubbish in general.
We are kicking the ball away to SA most dangerous player?
Biggar is doing his best to be fair.
Also apparently Samson lee is on?

such defeatism amongst Welsh fans (well one at least)....don't confuse Wales mistakes with SA's supremacy- A quote from somewhere...how apt.

Hows the game going for you Scratch? Been fun? good on you. Enjoy the second half. more of the same...yawn...

Places should definitely be at stake, i'm thinking loosehead, tighthead, lock, scrumhalf, wing and FB places going up for grabs in the second half

Do us a favour - run at a few red jerseys now and a again so it doesn't look like there are so many gaps !

There is absolutely zero intensity being shown by Wales. They look lazy, unfit and uninterested. Please do something second half.

I think I literally just saw one SA forward push back 6 of the welsh forwards.....

not defeatist at all is it T man since we are being defeated and the game is gone.....or don't you get that

deeply sad that you pop up here for a cheap shot but then you are a NZer, we know from recent reports in the press and a hard earned reputation for poor sportsmanship that they are largely ungracious and therefore this sort of thing is to be expected

Gatland out?

Gethin Jenkins showing that he is the best tactical kicker in Wales

wales are going to get someone yellow carded. i havent seen them roll away from a tackle when they get on the wrong side since minute 20. poite being kind as they are getting stuffed methinks.

wales606 wrote:Gethin Jenkins showing that he is the best tactical kicker in Wales

He'll never be a Wilson.

seriously what has happened since 2012? I mean in 2013 game against Ireland there were warning signs, but we have regressed so much since then, defence is poor, look unfit too, players haven't kicked on.

OR this is Gatlands masterplan...yes it must be this, he has learnt from the French in the 2011 world, oh gats you genius....

This is helping me feel a lot better about the game earlier on if I'm honest.
Feels like teams up here are at different stages of their development . The usual peaks and troughs in our fortunes.

payback for dumping all over the NZ England thread. thought both the English and NZ fans were gracious in both the win and loss. ...but no need to apologise. Enjoy the second half...

payback? you call that payback? you're very sad man.

at least you have admitted your motives

and for what, i supported england. you've just come on here and showed yourself up as a WUM

pathetic

OBE and a P45 at this rate!

Tman if you have a gripe with a user can you discuss it with him over pm as its spoiling the thread for the rest of us who have done nothing wrong, and we all need a place where we can cry about how god awful we are (is this how the Scottish fans feel??)

he has a guaranteed 7 year contract. another genius move from musciman roger lewis.

by far the worst perf by wales under gatland, since the last one anyway

Wales should take a look at some of the bench early - might as well see if someone else can add some unpredictability. Anything....

at least its no longer a point a minute for SA like it was in the first 25....

or leave the field. disgraceful


though in these circumstances davies and morgan are worth a look as they will trry and find space not green shirts

Jeez bilt, hate to see what SA are like then when they are clinical

As all eyes are on the three battle rumble between England and New Zealand, it's actually South Africa that look like they're growing and growling into the team to beat.

Menacing stuff...brutally physical

fair comment. point taken. Pity scratch didn't heed that advice. No more on that from me. on with the game...

Changes have to be made now. Not because they are going to make much of a difference, but because the point has to be made that this is unacceptable

The term blown away is used far too often in sport - for an appropriate example of the phrase, see this game.

Well that's me done, f*ck subjecting myself to another second of this Welsh cluelessness.

Bye all and see you next week (if I can even be bothered to entertain the illusion of Wales competing)

Agree with that fly. The championship will be compelling his year, the SA monster is waking up.

+1

Can we still blame Lions hangover? Please...?

Also, Shaun Edwards and Neil Jenkins are being added to my list of people who don't earn the wage they get, alongside Rob Howley

the young boks will be getting motivation from this somewhere up in Auckland for the semi later on biltong. Think theyll be allowed up on a school day?

Don't think we could score if the Saffers all left the pitch!

du plessis must get yello
