Let's be honest about this, ..... We did not deserve to win. I thought we were bloody poor at times, and still seem to be obsessed with kicking the ball away and giving the ball to the opposition so they could attack us.
We must remember that they played fo twenty minutes with 14 men, that is one quarter of the game.
I was very disappointed today, as France seemed to be sharper than us in many ways. Still the Swans won.

Wonder which other leading nation would have a coaching team of Pivac, Jones, Humphreys and Hayward.......

Sounds more like a Firm of local solicitors..... <laugh>

Nigel Short has a lot a answer for .....

Excellent summary Victor <ok>

This was even more disappointing than the Irish loss. We didn't even show any flashes of the so-called new attacking intent. Despite the intercept try coming as we looked to take back control and some dodgy reffing decisions we deserved to lose.

Pivac obviously needs more time before judging him but we seem to have gone backwards with the same squad of players. My fear is we return to the bad old days where I'm looking forward to the Italy and Scotland games as our only chance to win a game!

Must admit that I’m quite enjoying the wannabe fly-half come one-eyed ref having a nightmare ..... <cheers>

England won convincingly but they really didn't do that much. The first two tries were somewhat fortunate in that they should have both been covered by the Irish defence, bounce permitting. Their intensity in defence and line speed was the difference really.

Hopefully, the Welsh pack will front-up more successfully than the Irish pack.

Additionally, we will have to eliminate all errors: Pivac’s more expansive game gives more risks of errors and interceptions.

If we play too loosely, we could get thumped - reverting to a Gatland-type of game plan could see us get something.

I hope so - I will be there!
