Why are you praising Australia?! The team in green and gold is a barbarian team. If I filled the SA side with 50% Mexicans or Russians it wouldn't be a SA side would it? Well that is what "international" rugby is now; Barbarian Club teams masquerading as international teams with the colors to gain some emotional response from fans, unfortunately not living in reality anymore.

Our attacking ruck and ball security in the first half was a vast improvement on the last couple of years. Love seeing Joe pick some grafters (e.g. Liam Wright, Josh Flook) alongside the bigger bodies. These guys set the tone. Excited to see how we go next week in Melbourne. Go Wallabies!!!

[@Lazarus9703]

Its so hard being a Welsh rugby fan at the moment. We didnt even attempt to gain quick ball and attack the wallabies, were just trying to defend our way through games and hopefully pick up some penalty kicks to get us wins. Tomkins coming on as the experienced back from the bench with 15 to go and getting skinned like that for the try just isnt good enough if were adament on playing this defensive style.

[@yddraigoch]

The WRU have been killing the game by'ere since the 1980/90's - they're still doing their very best at finishing it off completely - mark my words in 5-10 yrs our Stadium itself will be 'for sale' = "Druan arnom - ffycin gwarthus" 😭
