This is VC remember, as far as Wales are concerned the grand total responsibilities of a FB are catch and kick, nothing else. I mean hell, Wales obviously have the best FB, back row, centres, half backs and forwards in the world. Maybe a space on the wing for Watson among the all dominating Welsh side. Oh and apparently some Welsh 10 is so good he will deffo be a Lion and makes Barrett look like a child.

Agreed with the most part of your comment. This match is hugely underwhelming, I'm kinda happy I didn't get to watch it in its entirety (but I went to the mass, so it was nearly as boring anyway).
I think Dmac can still prove himself, but not at 10. He is a natural fullback, should remain in that position and I've always thought so. Coaches need to let him run the ball from deep behind... playing as a five eighth restrains his options big time.

I'm trying to make a point when VC dislikes a post to liking it.
Seriously I think all but 2 of my negatives rating are from him.
Problem with this kind of rating system I'm down voting him almost semi-religiously ATM

I think I'll be joining you on that crusade. Being able to blindly dislike any point you disagree with is ruining the forum, it's meaning that you get punished for having a different opinion to someone else. For the most part I enjoy the like/dislike system, it's just the people like VC that come along and abuse it that ruin it for everyone. 3 of my 4 dislikes are all just VC when I've said something against the Welsh.

The "like" system is under review. In the meantime nobody will think ill of anyone having a sliver of red on their bar I'm sure.
I genuinely don't care about even having a slightly larger negative thing. I do dislike it when the reason your getting it is largely from a user everyone else considers a joke.

He's like a Welsh John Cena.
He operates in the shadows
Is it? I don't think they have any alternative to it

All the Welsh lads played excellently! SOB was rubbish, Itoje was rubbish and Watson was just terrible. Not sure on Sexton either. Think if Warbs, AWJ and Williams came it we would've won by 40+ Anyone who doesn't agree should 'Shut up'
In all seriousness I'm more than happy with the pack, great balance, combos that know each other well and real class. Warbs on the bench for now. Real strength in depth too as I'd love to find a place for CJ and Tips. Itoje and Kruis were fantastic today, and Faletau oozes class. I'd be happy with McGrath starting and having Mako as impact, same at hooker with Owens or George. POM and SOB great all over the park.
In the backs our limited game plan won't suit North or Watson but they both chased the high ball well, and if they do ever get the ball and chances to go for the line I'm sure they are the quality we need to finish them off. Thought Sexton today was fantastic, proper would class FH. Farrell on the bench for now, but at least we know we've got two quality options at 10. Murray not as good as last week but still quality.
Centres are still a tiny problem. Te'o ran some great lines but won't pass, altthough if someone just ran with him it it would end in scores.. For now he deserves the 12 shirt. JD played ok too, again made good line breaks and his kicks in behind were decent but passing wasn't happening again, and got bumped once in the 2nd half. Its too tight to call, I don't mind JD if we had a more creative 12 but two carriers who can't/don't pass isn't ideal. I'd like to see either Henshaw - JD combo or Te'o JJ combo. To be fair to JD he does give us front foot ball, and if our tactics are limited then JD and Te'o is the way to go.
Halfpenny fine. Lacks in flair but is solid asf! Great kicker. Would rather have a more dynamic attacker there but that just isn't going to happen

I'd return the favour but I made an oath to myself never to use that button! I'll report you if you try hard enough though!Spreading the love.
How old are you VC? You're fun to read but I can see how you rub people up the wrong way. When JD botched a pass right at the start, and commented in here you instantly told them to 'Shut Up' It makes me laugh as its how my 8 year old talks when he doesn't get his own way.
Keep it up tho
Amazing how much better the Kiwi coverage of the game is compared to the tripe offered up by skyuk this morning.

Now your acting like a spoilt 4 year old, who gives a f**** if others like or dislike what you say, its subjective. These forums are about opinions why would you be so sensitive when someone dislikes your comments.
You poor sensitive thing
