[RWC2019][Pool D] Round 1 - Wales vs. Georgia (23/09/2019)

Haha yellow card for that but not for the knock on.

If it had been a knock on then it was also a yellow for a cynical deliberate knock on stopping a break. The mistake was saying it wasn't a knock on at all.

Does AWJ ever make yards on the carry? Seems to get a neutral carry at best.

Nope,
When you look at his stats he's not a very effective player, certainly nothing impressive at international level - it's more his ability to raise the game of those around him that sets him apart.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why is Owens staying on? Especially for a scrum?

Wales' management of their injured players is mental

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Georgian number 3 was never pushing straight in that scrum.

 

[Scotty]

Fair play Georgia have come out tackling hard this second half and putting in some big hit. And survived the card period so far.

That scrum is a powerful from georgia.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Blatantly took out Williams there haha.

 

[Rinkadink]

New scrummie for Georgia is really making an impact.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You could always rely on the Georgian pack to be monsters but they're getting completely smashed by a pretty average Wales front row.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Forward pass from AWJ to Tipuric,

Some wheels from Williams though

Cursed the guy, really bad kick and chase back.

I'm sorry lad.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Moriarty getting absolutely ******,

You hate to see it

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Scrum tides turning,
Good try, some real intent on those carries

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Nice impetus there. Shame they were so awful in the first 20 minutes, this game could have been half competitive otherwise, was never going to be anything but a bp win though.

 

[Aristodemus]

Think he lost control of that, but then I also thought Williams was offside for the North kick!

 

[Scotty]

What a try, great play by Georgia. Quick tap good quick passing and physical finish....come on should be in 6N debate someones going to start it eventually

 

[MojoPin]

Parkes and Shingler are awful in this second half, throwing stupid passes/offloads and ineffective in the tackle area. Still happy overall but those two need some work IMO. Still not sure Shingler is ready for international rugby after his injury, not looking anywhere near as good as he was.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeesh, completely switched off after that kick

 

[MojoPin]

Absolutely love the way Tomos Williams moves when he's got a bit of space. He's going to be something very special one day.

 

[Reiser99]

Wales will be a little disappointed with this performance. Almost switched off to an England level. Especially the defense has not been it's usual standard in the second half.
