Malt 379 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Aye, not much of a game.. A few moments of quality with the Welsh tries, Beck's especially but that was about it.. All those changes were telling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,217 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 What a game for you to have to endure gnash, that second half was such a bad advert for rugby, 46,000 fans in there tonight and it sounded like 6 from 45 mins onward..........feckin dire. The refs have only just started wearing them for test rugby, they started that off in super 15 rugby I think. Must admit i found it hard work ....might help if i knew the rules ........in fairness its hard for a crowd to get an atmosphere going in a ground that size.........anyway results the important thing,thought the young kid making his debut did ok.......didnt he ?

Oh no it isn't! Go there and watch a proper match like a Wales vs England's at the six nations, these Autumn games are more like friendlies.. The more prestige ones like the upcoming one against Australia will generate a bit more atmosphere.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The more prestige ones like the upcoming one against Australia will generate a bit more atmosphere.. All i meant Malt was its hard to get an atmosphere in a half empty stadium the size of the Millenium as Johnnyboy said there didnt sound much atmosphere......ive been there a few times myself its one of the greatest sporting venues in the Uk in my opinion but 42k people in a 80k stadium whatever it is takes something to generate atmosphere. As for the haka i always like to see the iconic things in sport so i went to Twickenham to see England v All Blacks a few years back very impressive i dont understand it at all but you still get a sense of the history and tradition behind it......they did that kamate one which im told means " you will die " or something .....just the sort of thing you want to hear lining up to play rugby against a bunch of mad looking loonies like that Ive never been into the game but you cant help be impressed at the passion involved. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty neat to be able to do that.
