[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 737569, member: 38204"] It's not just about responding to being behind, it's dealing with the fact that a poor team performance will most likely result in individuals being dropped from the WC squad. Most of these guys were under pressure to perform today to be selected following this game, as if they're playing today it's hugely unlikely that they'd make the cut. All the talk here this week has been about who isn't playing, as there's a feeling they are the ones who are being wrapped in cotton wool. Selection has been an issue with the result today, but most of all I think it's had to have impacted on the mentality of the players. I think Anscombe and Williams have made a difference to the pace of Wales' game, but the 12 13 14 defence has been awful all game. [/QUOTE]
