Wales v NZ

[Welsh Exile]

I’d prefer to watch the proper All Blacks (Neath) v The NZ All Blacks.

To be honest, the only way this game can be salvaged is for someone to run into the Haka and do a E-Honda flying headbutt and just have a proper dust up.

I can’t be bothered about the team. Tandy can’t pick a team to save his life.

Also, is it just me or does Tandy come across as super boring and uninspiring. Obviously don’t know what he’s like behind closed doors but I listened to his greeting to the squad a couple of weeks ago and almost fell asleep.

10 years ago today since Jonah died. RIP big man. GOAT.

Scotland have gone into a meltdown since he left, so must be something in him. I might be over egging Scotland tbh

I want less Steve Tandy and more Jason Statham. Both in personality and playing style/identity.

He has been referred to as the WRUs Gareth Southgate on numerous occasions...

But regarding the game, the 90s refusal to engage is back, no, no, nope, no way, no how, nopity nope nope...

Ive volunteered to take the girls to their language lesson, and then skiing for the afternoon, itll be far more fun!

Hurtling down a slope at 40mph, refusing to slow down and watching impending doom coming at you in the shape of a fence and rubber tyres...

Itll be less scary than sitting in front of the TV at 3pm.

Plus my daughter needs to sharpen her skills, last time we went up a mountain she took forever to get down lol all the Gluewein in Austria couldnt make me patient enough hababa

Do you know what, this game proves, as does our last couple of years, that it’s not the hope that kills you. It’s no hope that truly kills. Read Harry’s post above.

At least in years gone by when we had a deluded sense of hope that we might finally get a result against the New Zealand All Blacks it didn’t feel so bad when we inevitably lost. We went back to beating England or France or whoever and being a top 4 side. Now it’s just shall I even bother to watch the game?

The only positive is that I’m a lot more relaxed about it as I know 100% we’re going to lose.

I wish, free cabin from the in laws, cheap ryan air flights to salzburg, cheap car hire, some cheap 2nd hand kit that goes into storage, only thing we pay for is lift passes and food.

Last trip was 9 days cost us about 1k all in, about the same as Butlins, much less than Centerparcs.

I think the end of your point conradicted the beginning mate. Im happy and sober watching NZ, and SA knowing we dont stand a chance.

Imagine going into every 6N for the last 10 with people tipping younfor an outside chance, and claiming 'this is your year', no wonder the Scots are so depressed as a nation.

Which leads to my point, weve been spoiled last 20 years, since 2005 we have won 6 championships, and 4 grand slams, i think thats led the way in the tournament hasnt it? Compare that to Englands 4 championship and 1 GS, or scotlands... ummm.

Anyway, time to take our licks, like Scotland has since 99, Italy since joining, England for majority of a decade etc... we are fetting a taste of what Scotland have watched for quarter of a century, and its absolutely deserved with the way the WRU have acted since professionalism.

One of the benefits of marrying a forrin

My Mrs is half Scottish. All I get is some shack in some place that sees 1 hour sunshine a year.

I don’t want to be relaxed though. Not really. I’d much rather be a top 4/5 side and lose to NZ by 30 points after a competitive 40 mins than the state I’m in at the moment

 

[Welsh Exile]

I’m hoping that we are within 14 points at HT. if we can do that then even if we lose by 50 points I’ll be happy with that. **** me.

I’m going to start a campaign to stop people idolising fake prophets. This gross cultural appropriation that NZ have done by referring to themselves as the All Blacks instead of Neath who are the real All blacks has to stop now.
