Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 In all honesty, I think Wales have peaked and are going down hill, The palyers still have a lot to give but other teams have worked out how to counter the simple gameplan and there is no plan B. Liam Williams showed today what a full back should do it is a pity that 1/2p is not allowed to do the same. That said, the Scottish forwards could not cope with plan Gatland, which with the man less in the backs left our backs open to run riot. I would have rather seen him get a yellow and been cited later, would have made for a better contest. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Fook me, am i tired. Went to work at 7am on Friday and didn't get home untill 1:30pm Saturday. Fecking Standby. Watched the first game via Sky+ then the second one live. I was hoping for the slimey toads to pull it off, and for a short while i thought they might. Sadly, it was not to be. Well done Ireland, worthy winners. Nice For O'driscoll to go out on a bang. England are certainly on the up and when all the injuries are cleared up should have a very good team. Scotland and Italy are always going to struggle. Wales, Well i said it a while ago and i'm still of the same oppinion. They're tired and looking shot. If Warrenball doesn't work and with the better defences around today it wont, Wales don't seem to have another way to play. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here on in. A summer tour to SA, 6 nations and then the pool of death in the WC15. Tough times ahead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If England carry on improving as they are, they are going to be a force to recon with. Wales badly need a plan B. Gatland talks about having strength in depth, then does bugger all to facilitate it. Lee Halfpenny played 27 games in the last season, as have a few of the others no wonder they are jaded.

Malt 379 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Is it heresy to say I think maybe Gatland has taken this bunch of players as far as he can? Outside a few positions our squad has got youth on its side, by rights it should be getting better, not worse.. Think that's the difference here, in the Southern Hemisphere his head would be on the block after some of the performances over the last 12 months, irrespective of previous results..
