Japan v Wales.

[Welsh Exile]

So Sherratt has had what, 5 games in charge.

In those games, Wales have scored 3 2nd half tries, Edwards was the 3rd lol.

A late score 77 min v England when 68-7 down, and a late score against Scotland when 35 - 22 down.

Both teams had us beat by the 30th minute, scoring 30 odd points each.

So Edwards try was the first meaningful 2nd half score Wales have managed in 5 games.

I mean the caveat to that is he’s come in and not exactly had much time. 6N was an already half way through and he’s a a 2 week tour of Japan.

Don’t get me wrong, if he’s going to make the step up to international coaching it would be just as an attack coach for me and even then I’d rather see him continue at Cardiff.

The sacrifices we make! I thought the price of the ticket was enough punishment.

Basically what I've leaned from today's game and thread is welsh rugby has become more effective than a vasectomy

We scarped over the line really. Too poor teams sadly, and in Wales case hard to see where the magic is coming from just now. Thought Giles looked dangerous for what's it's worth. Wales it's much worse than we thought. Big changes needed over the summer now.

My missus is due to give birth in 4 weeks, we conceived the night Australia pumped us in November 2024...

At a recent party the 2 offerings for the name of the little girl were:

Tom Wright (middle name)
Or
Pity ****.

Well done Wales. Great achievement given it's a Lions year.

Don’t try and belittle our achievement. That was 14th playing 12th. We’re punching above our weight.

Even the jokes make me sad...

There are some positives to take i suppose...

Smith is still quality.

Freddie Thomas looked OK, as did Teddy, we just need them bigger and more aggressive.

Wainright desperately needed a good game, came off the bench last week looked awful. This time 2 years ago I had him as a nailednon lion.

Keelan Giles was super eager, as was Murray, Josh Adams didnt look like he was carrying a broken leg for the first time in 3 years.

It's a shame Grady not Llewellyn were able to tour, those 2 games were primed for those types of players.

Also, we can now write off Mann, Mcleod, Hardy and the chuckle brothers in midfield as not international standard, although Williams was left out to dry at 13 unfairly.

For someone who's been enjoying the schadenfreude this thread's been hilarious. Shame about the score though!

I can't see an English language broadcast on iPlayer, just Welsh. I'll just have to learn Welsh in the next five minutes.

If you have android go to "S4C Clic", you get both English and Welsh.

I somehow ended up enjoying the Welsh commentary.
