[QUOTE="Ozzay, post: 290485"] Right.. i've been ranting and raving about Wales most of the year and this is my opinion! Firstly yesterday! what a waste of money, i've never seen some shocking defence as that, the fact that i had a women behind me, thinking she knew what was right, really didn't help. I've thought all year, Wales haven't been no way like the 08 side. I was behind the posts of the giteau try, and it was clearly obvious, that he was gonna step inside Andrew Bishop because Duncan Jones left a nice huge gap which i could of run through! Wales never looked like scoring..AGAIN! I heard the ref missed a few forward passes, i was in no position to see it, i hate that ref anyway! Did Dan play ok? where i was sat you just seen Austriala more..Don't think Wales got in their 22 in the first half mind. Hooks kicking never gave anyone a chance of getting a chase on? he gave the aussies easy ball all the time.. Anyway to top it off, they cancelled my train home! I dunno if any of you agree with me, but i feel Wales have gone backwards all year..we did play well last AI and did give SA and NZ and a game. Since the 6 nations though, i've just felt we've gone backwards..we've stopped scoring tries like we did, we don't look a threat anymore, we haven't got strength in depth and most welsh people are overrating them bigstyle, it'll be aww its just one bad perfomance, i think a drumming like that as been comming for a long time, i thought we were rubbish against NZ, yet we were getting closer? we didnt look like scoring in that game, just defended well. Samoa we were very lucky, we beat the Argies due to their mistakes! Missing key players doesn't help either. 08 Grandslam, we rotated the side and made players play for their positions, now certain people just know their number is safe. Last year, we had peel, hook coming off the bench, now we got Martyn Roberts, Andrew Bishop. Gatland has not helped by moving players around, eg. Hook at fullback, leaving no 10 on the bench, Paul James at tightead, the scrum got smashed yesterday, absolutely hammered, Jamie Roberts in the centre. I do genuinely believe we've gone backwards because of Powell and Roberts, playing this smashing game, and its just not working, it worked in the summer because of the class of BOD coming from him, he doesn't do the same for Wales. Wales are missing Gavin Henson BIG TIME! If i was Gat i'd be getting him back, because Wales are gonna struggle and play frustrating rugby in the 6N. The support runners this autumn seem to just have disappeared, the amount of pentalies giving away, or slow ball is terrible! Wales are dangerous with quick ball, we don't seem to be getting any of it. But fairplay, Austriala were always gonna prove a point, and they did.. [/QUOTE]
