Looked at score and entirely as I expected. Calamity Wayne really has to go.

With a heavy heart I have elected not to watch. Meaningless game really but I have no desire to see Ireland tear Wales a new one. It is only going to get worse folks, it is not going to "click" at some point. Judging from the lack of Welsh contributions thus far, I may not be anything like the...

Need a change of coaching team.

Wales under Pivac almost bewilderingly bad.

For me, the most worrying aspects remain: poor defence (15 tries conceded in last 4 games), lack of incisive attack (largely due to poor platform, due to lack of carriers) and the fact that these weaknesses ARE persisting. It suggests that the coaching staff are either unwilling or unable to...

Not sure it is extreme. I think Pivac and Hayward are way out of their depth. Gatland got the very best out of the players but I don't think the current lot can. This was a peremptory appointment to say the least, based on one fleeting season at Scarlets. At the start, even I was willing to give...

With the current coaching setup, it is all rearranging deckchairs on the ***anic. As things stand I can only see a Scotland win next week with Calamity Wayne and his gang at the helm.

Welcome to the Pivacaust.

Please prove me wrong Wales but I have the feeling that Pivac is a disaster on wheels and this could be a year or so of Gareth Jenkinsesque results.

Very rarely post on here but I like this sort of thread! Getting the subjective out of the way first. From a Welsh point of view, obviously 1987, 2011 and 2019 stand out and ( I know, I know) I genuinely feel both latter two times we could have gone on to win it. Objectively, again 1987 as...

Quinlan doesn't seem so bad- That presenter is awful.

Odd how some can construct alternative narratives that are positive for their teams and negative for others. That is the natural way of things I suppose. I do think Wales, even with their injuries (without, another counterfactul?) would have had a decent shot at England in the final and I...

Some interesting talk of what ifs earlier. Us historians call them "counterfactuals" and they are often great fun but the problem is for every alternative thread you explore, others will often open up. For all that it is always tempting to indulge in them and we should all be forgiven for doing...

Would love to be proven wrong but fear SA will be too strong. A game too far?

As does yours! Ah, it was all a bit without warning wasn't it? Wonder if there are any other ex SV posters on here...

Yes, I was on SV too - under the name of Buglet. Really miss it and find Gwlad a bit up itself.

Didn't know about Joe's mum, that is sad and it must be difficult to consider work as a distraction or a chore after that. He has been Ireland's best coach. ABs looked ominously good and they will take a lot of beating now. They are able to play at such destructive pace and keep skill levels high.

Very good from England, especially in defence, but struggling to understand Australia's tactics. Reckless from own 22.

Loving it on here already :)

Thanks! Been looking at forum for some time and on the whole seems the most polite and informed!
