Wales in black tonight!

Excited by the back line maybe concerned about the pack

Wales in black tonight!

Mark of respect .... Pivac’s last game?

 

[glamexile]

Should have gone for the All Black look

 

[glamexile]

Surprisingly it's all Wales up front.

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

We said beforehand, achieving (at least) parity up front would win the game

 

[glamexile]

Who will he pick next week?

Who will he pick next week?

As many Turks as he can get away with?

Republic of Turkmenistan next week en. FFS.

We could lose by 30 points .....

Agreed Taff. Hence - no likey soz

A comfortable win but far from convincing. Not sure what to make of it really. Good to see some new(ish) players. Tompkins must start. I really expected more in attack, especially second half.

England brushed Ireland aside and looked rock solid in defence. Gawd help us next week.

Why play in black? ..... no need, no colour clash. ......... disrespectful to any player winning his first cap.
If I was earning my first cap, I would want to wear my Natioal Welsh colour of RED.

Bang on Vic. My boy liked it, but I couldn’t tell if it was black or blue tbh. But agree, neither black or blue stirred my loins ... nor did the macron mark either.

If Eddie picks his strongest team, I think that the Pivometer will move towards 30 points ...

Think I will get on the front foot and cancel Sunday’s papers .....

In my opinion, red all day long ... unless the player is Irish and the TMO is Irish ...

 

[daimungeezer]

Blatant red, no question. That TMO should be relieved of duty.

Interesting to see Lloyd at 9. Is Pivac hoping to play a faster, more fluent game or does he envisage having to move the ball away from scrum and breakdown ASAP to minimise damage? Who knows - probably not Wayne

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Arguably, this is one of the weakest looking teams to ever play England?

Not forgetting, being arguably one of the worst coached .....

I’d love to be proven wrong ......
