[2015 RWC] Pool A: Wales vs. Fiji (01/10/2015)

[GarethEWilliams]

So things we learn't from yesterdays game:

* We need Samson Lee back in the scrum.
* The Morgan boys look like good prospects
* Cuthbert shouldn't be anywhere near the starting squad at the moment. Morgan on the wing for me, and Williams if fit, if not then Hook/Anscome

I think if Australia win then it would be a great time to try a could of things out and rest Warburton/Wyn Jones and Roberts for me. Those guys have been colossus for us, but I feel Gatland just want to pick the strongest team now no matter what.

Yea I think he's just gonna go all out for every game, we simply can't rest players we have no depth at all

And to think GoodNumber10 was on here loads continually talking about he should be the choice as the starter because of his try scoring ratio. What a load of rubbish that was. He's been completely found out at international level.

Even if Australia win I think we should play our best side as topping the group would be our best chance of progressing through to the semis

How has it worked that a World Cup in England ends with Wales having home advantage and playing in Cardiff?[/QUOTE

Exactly as England did when Wales hosted, (It was only 1999 after all, mind you some people have short memories)
Wales also gave games to Ireland in Dublin and Scotland at Murrayfield.

the problem with that is that South Africa could be runners up of their pool. meaning we would face them if we top ours. it might be in our best intrest to come 2nd unless south africa top their pool

Glad I wasn't the only one who notice this.

How Lacey is in this World Cup I just don't know.

One of the better refereeing performances this WC, lets the games flow when he has the whistle.

At first I thought Ma'afu was going overboard by giving the Welsh players **** after owning them at scrums. But then when you think about all the past games where he's been on the hiding end of scrums esp against Wales in 2010 its actually pretty funny haha

Yes the Fiji scrum is hugely improved , Robin mcbryde needs to sort it out , we got the weight but lacking technique
