[QUOTE="MikeTheNative, post: 922952, member: 74084"] That went a lot better than expected. Other than that poor 20 minutes, where Wales made a number of errors to keep giving Tonga field position, they seemed to have finally found their attack. (albeit against a poor Tonga team). I'm sure I saw that Biggar was man of the match, obviously he played well, kicked at goal well. But his kicking from hand was poor, wasted a few good opportunities and gave Tonga field position with a few poorly executed kicks. You can quite clearly see the difference when Patchell came on, he was taking the ball a lot flatter to the gain line and offers a running threat. That's the problem with Biggar playing that game, he doesn't offer any threat with the ball in hand so you know what is going to happen. Very impressed with Jake Ball, Beard was ok again but the difference between the two locks was high. Seb Davies had a good game at 8, just wish he had a game a lock. Decent performances all round but I still fear the keep the ball in play tactic, I don't think it is going to work against SA. [/QUOTE]
