[QUOTE="willrobinson, post: 541138, member: 63320"] I was much happier with the performance today I only managed to catch the first half in real time (but managed to watch the whole game on iplayer later) and I was buzzing when I left the house. They were looking like they actually found out what creativity means at times. Preistland definitely stepped up a few gears today and at the level he was playing today (in a unbiased selection scheme where they are picked on regional form) would defo be back up there fighting for a place with biggar in the pro12 still not at his best but getting there. It was always going to be hard with I think it was 6 of there first team out, 4 of there subs and 2 others. And especially set pieces and rucks were going to be an issue and they was. With the line outs they had a second row who had only trained with the team for a week and all the others in the second half could jump but only as a reserve option really it was just a recipe for disaster and at one point I remember ryan going up and being suspended in the air for ages then coming down before the ball had been thrown just bad communication. In the rucks both teams gave away pens as Barnes is extremely nit picky at breakdowns and I felt wales should of thought about this abit more as Warburton gave away loads of pens. [/QUOTE]
