[QUOTE="TRF_Cymro, post: 319505, member: 40909"] How can you say Phillips played well? His passing was poor. The amount of balls Stephen Jones had to take above his head and pick of his toes was amazing. The fact also he never looked up and was not aware of his surroundings. You can blame the SA for not rolling away but at times the ball was there and available and ready for the Welsh backs but instead slowed the game right down. Also making sniping runs is all well and good when they are useful but yesterday majority were not. Also is box kicking was woeful, the entire point from them is to go high. When you say easily get to Phillips ... that was only because he took so much time to get rid of the ball the ruck became a mess. Was also not helped by Alan Lewis failing to referee the ruck area correctly. Wow ... his kicking was pretty spot on he ran the Welsh defence and his kicking bar one or two was pretty spot on. He had to take a lot of ball on and he did it and did it correctly. You could argue he could have passed it out once but instead he took the ball into contact but the decision was correct. You can argue the point with me but from a coaching point of view and the many fans around yesterday we were pretty much in agreement that he did the right thing. Sorry he did not have a poor game. Being a hooker myself I would have loved to have been so good as him yesterday. His throwing was good, his jumpers were the ones being it jumped. Go back and watch it, it was not Rees's fault. Wales became predictable in the calling of lineouts. People tend to blame the hooker constantly but im afraid you can't. Deiniol may have been calling but the lineout captain is JT! No sorry, Jones did a job on CJ VdL. He turned him everyway possible. Also a little note for you, playing at tighthead you are always under pressure because thats where all the pressure is in the scrum. I wonder if you watched the same game, he did an amazing job and you could see the relief that SA had when he came off. Id play Warburton at 7 and McCusker at 6. If it fails then id go with Warburton at 6 and GT at 7. [/QUOTE]
