[QUOTE="RugbyChump, post: 145951"] I don't need to keep telling myself because I'm not that uncertain about my opinion. Even Dai Jones from down the pub would know that Wales aren't as good as late 2004/ early2005. That's hardly news lol. Wales were the underdogs obviously because of 'recent' performances, however we didn't exactly get hammered and it's something that we came back in the second half to at least attempt to claw back some points. I would pick Martyn Williams and Colin Charvis over George Smith thank you very much. George Smith did very well in stopping Jonathan Thomas with that try didn't he. Our backs aren't the problem, it's the lack of power in the forwards which is limiting the style of rugby we can play. So are George Smith, Chris Latham and Stirling Mortlock the only ones you can name? Hardly, Wales just didn't step up in the first half. We've been playing a style of game that doesn't suit or us, or one we are ill-equipped to execute. Which is domination by forward play. Once we opened up our play we had some go forward and your defence started to buckle. Also you looked exposed without Striling Mortlock and Laaaaaarkham, which for an Australian perspective is worrying. It's also interesting to note that Scott Johnson was the former skills coach for Wales, and now he's the attack coach for Australia. Which is bound to give [i]some[/i] insight at least. No no, consider yourself lucky that Shane Williams did not have more space or time on the ball. Didn't you see the runs he was making? He made Drew Mitchell look like a OAP in 2005. What a shame. Singular, only Australia. Get it right. This is a web forum, all kinds of opinion will be voiced here. Don't be precious by calling me a tard, I guess 'tact' has never been something you've grasped down there. Arrogance is not an attractive quality, get too far up your own arse and it's a long and dark way out. They did indeed, but I was referring to the time when Ireland played good rugby late 2006/early 2007. You took out a few key players and they would struggle. Nowadays I don't know what's going, possessed by ghosts of christmas past would be a likely explanation. [/QUOTE]
