[EOYT] Wales vs. South Africa 09/11/13

[Bluemoon]

The Welsh forwards are just about keeping us in it at the moment.

Crazy running from the 22m. Its such a mess because the back line is such a mix match. Penny playing at 11 even though he's been at 15 for years, Hook at fullback and been playing 10. Scott Williams looks good but we are playing as individuals at the moment. Wales won't be running any moves.

If SA put pressure on the set piece and tighten up now then they will win. I expect them to do that second half.

 

[Jaguares]

Only if it is for his birthday.............................!!

Alain was wrong. Red card, sir!

[dullonien]

Alun-Wyn is having a shocker.

 

[Big Ewis]

OK so do we all just agree Wales lose this unfortunately because there are just too many injuries at this point, incld. in essential departments for Wales...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

SA really need to be pinged for never feeding thr scrum correctly.

 

[Bluemoon]

Really not organised in the back line and the attack looks poor because of it. I would't be against Wales popping over three when they are in the 22. They've been there enough times.

 

[dullonien]

SA's driving maul is astonishingly good.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Craziness

 

[Bluemoon]

i'm not really sure what that achieves? Wales don't have another prop haha. The SA prop will feel aggrieved but I'm pretty sure bismarck told him to drop it after Alains little chat haha.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

WTF is rolland doing?

 

[Bluemoon]

Are players allowed to request a video ref?????? Are we going American football style??

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I love JdV, he's always chancing his arm.
Like earlier when they went to the TMO and it was taking ages and he says "Maybe he can't find it because nothing happened?" and just then "...that was in a try scoring position"

 

[Big Ewis]

what, 15-17 with 20 to play ???
GO WALES ! GO WALES !!! GOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dullonien]

Fair play Hibbard. Massive shift.

 

[Bluemoon]

Welsh forwards still performing. Who will tire first.

I'm still flabbergasted we are still in it! (That's right. Flabbergasted).

 

[Big Ewis]

freak try.

 

[Bluemoon]

Haha. What an anti-climax.

 

[Draggs]

Poor from Priestland, should have gone after the ball, not the man.

 

[Aspry]

Oh dear...

Welsh players sleeping during that play...

 

[Big Ewis]

how about a nice George North try just about now, Cardiff...

 

[SuperEagle]

I'm really enjoying this match. Lots of good Rugby.

 

[Bluemoon]

Try looked massively offside. SA wasting time now like a good team would.

 

[Big Ewis]

I'm really enjoying this match. Lots of good Rugby.

meh, a lot of garbage too...Wales need that try, they've made good ground in parts, but the best has been 3pters.

 

[Bluemoon]

I can't imagine this back line has trained in this formation this week. The attack has reflected that.

Preistland has had a very bad shift.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fantastic goal line defence from the Boks.

 

[Rich Taff]

Did nobody tell Rolaind that the 'put in at the scrum now has to be straight'?

Oh, and I really hope Hook's club refuses to release him for any further internationals.

 

[Big Ewis]

ok, was a sweet battle Wales...sorry.

 

[Jaguares]

What do u think about Patt Lambie performance?

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Different Autumn, same old Wales. No cutting edge, key decisions in their 22 rushed and eventually botched. On the upside the commitment and effort is there, we've competed physically and rolling mauls aside, have matched their pack. Hibbard, AWJ, Warbs in particular all have had big games.

All in all very frustrating.
