[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1146684, member: 13739"] First of all, well done Portugal on what was a very good first half display and compatative second half display. It's good to see the lower ranked sides not only putting up a good fight, but playing some very good rugby as well. This WC is proving that the gap is closing I think and hopefully that continues. Onto Wales. Happy with the 5 points, that's the important thing really. I was content with our first half performance, as I felt Portugal kept the score close by playing well, rather than us playing poorly. The second half though was a bit of a mess from both sides. Lots of handling errors. I think it showed what many people probably already knew, many of the Welsh squad have a lot of potential, but aren't ready yet unfortunately. The likes of Domachowski, Lake, Daf Jenkins, Tshiunza, Costellow and Grady are the future, but they have too many errors in the game at present and won't be thr ones to shine at this WC. One or two could stll surprise, but I think we'll be relying on the older guard over the next few games to grind out some results. [/QUOTE]
