[November Tests 2016 EOYT] Wales vs. Australia (05/11/2016)

[TheOvalBall]

To be fair, Rob Howley are coaching them. Not Warren Gatland.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

I think peeps have to remember the Wallabies have been playing together since August. This is Wales' first outing since the June internationals. And it shows.

 

[McTallshort]

Wales are not putting any pressure at all on Austraila

 

[TheOvalBall]

Falau needs to get much more strength in his legs. He is stopped way too easily.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

The possession stat is going to be hilarious

 

[petite]

the stats so far are insane!

 

[Bluemoon]

Completely undercooked. Wales aren't ready for this game. Wallabies doing what they need to do and won't need to get out of second gear.

Tipiric is a fantastic footballer and great in open play, but he's been very ineffectual at the breakdown today.

 

[Ospervat]

Thinking back to RWC pool game and can't believe the difference in the Welsh defence

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Credit to the Welsh fans for not booing. That was a disgusting performance from them. Oz are underestimated by many but they should not be dominating like that. Wales unrecognisable from June. It being their first test in a while could explain a little rustiness, but not that. That's never been a valid excuse in the past and these guys have been playing together for years. Why can't Gatland coach just now? Surely he can spare a few weeks in November?

 

[The Jones Boy]

Half time it's 20-3 and so far it looks like a training run for the wallabies
Aussie could have half a dozen tries by now.
Wales have been so poor it's shocking.
Where is their vaunted midfield defence?
This is embarrassing.
The southern hemisphere has arrived but theres no defence here to greet them.
Come on Wales this is bloody woeful.
Can we have a game please??
Everytime the Wallabies touch the ball in the midfield you are thinking they are going to score here....

Valid. But the defence is pathetic. Clueless!

Yep, Shaun Edwards will be going ballistic at the team at half time. Big improvement needed in the 2nd half.

 

[Wimero]

Whats the record home loss for Wales.?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wales aren't even getting a chance of slowing down the ball at the breakdown the aussies just come smashing through as soon as the attacker hits the ground

 

[The Jones Boy]

The line speed on defence is telling.
Wales slow and cautious, Aussie powering out from the line to give the Welsh no time to organise and attack
This is ugly

Wales started so strongly there, as well - first 5-10 mins they were consistently pushing Aus back with their blitz defence.
Don't know if it's their fitness, confidence or fear of the kick but they've slackened off massively

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You'd think Aus were the ones behind the way they're just slinging the ball all over the place
Need to calm down a bit

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Is Joubert Welsh qualified? Shaun Edwards could do with him in their blitz defence.

Aussie are doing a showcase like the Harlem globe trotters because they know it's in the bag

Was only a matter of time b4 Wallabies scored again.
